Have you tried using something like supervisord? Or the slew of other process launchers available for *nix. Check brew. I would look to that as an interim solution if the plist method remains problematic.

I had filed a bug here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5589 We have found that the root cause is starting the mesos application in the background using a plist entry. If you launch the mesos agent from a terminal it works fine. We have tried to get a plist (not an app) to work and none of the documented settings in launchd remove the latency issue. https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/launchd.plist.5.html The settings we tried are: ProcessType <string> This optional key describes, at a high level, the intended purpose of the job. The system will apply resource limits based on what kind of job it is. If left unspecified, the system will apply light resource limits to the job, throttling its CPU usage and I/O bandwidth. The following are valid values: Background Background jobs are generally processes that do work that was not directly requested by the user. The resource limits applied to Background jobs are intended to prevent them from disrupting the user experience. Standard Standard jobs are equivalent to no ProcessType being set. Adaptive Adaptive jobs move between the Background and Interactive classifications based on activity over XPC connections. See xpc_transaction_begin(3) for details. Interactive Interactive jobs run with the same resource limitations as apps, that is to say, none. Interac-tive Interactive tive jobs are critical to maintaining a responsive user experience, and this key should only be used if an app's ability to be responsive depends on it, and cannot be made Adaptive. The mesos agent works correctly if you start it as a GUI app. This leaves an icon on the screen. One can live with it but it is an indication of the lack of proper documentation from apple and or utter lack of understanding of background application on the Desktop OS known as OS X. If someone has a plist solution please share it. It is not reasonable to start mesos agents from a terminal session or cron, the operating system should manage startup and shutdown.
