launchd Agents

"Agents" are what launchd calls user (as opposed to system/root) jobs and services.

Agents are defined in plists XML files in

1. ~/Library/LaunchAgents

   • User-specific agents. They run as that user.
   • This is where Loc'd reads and writes its agents.

2. /Library/LaunchAgents

   • Agents that still run as the current user but are shared by all users.
   • Loc'd ignores these at the moment - it doesn't read or write them. Maybe in the future if the need arises.

Loc'd represents agents through the Locd::Agent class and it's subclasses.
