Script errors when run by launchd at startup, but not when run in Terminal
- by Mechcozmo
Hello.
I'm attempting to create a RAM disk that loads the previous contents when the system starts up, and every six hours writes the contents to a disk image. Currently, when you run the script from the terminal ("sudo bash LogToRAM.sh") everything works fine. But when run from launchd during startup, it doesn't work.
Here's the lines from the log; the first line just gives some idea as to where in the boot process we are:
SecurityAgent[202] Showing Login Window
com.mechcozmo.LogToRAM[51] + /Developer/usr/bin/SetFile -a V /Volumes/LogfileRAMdisk
com.mechcozmo.LogToRAM[51] ERROR: File Not Found. (-43) on file: /Volumes/LogfileRAMdisk
com.mechcozmo.LogToRAM[51] + /usr/sbin/asr -source '/Library/Application Support/LogToRAM/RAMdisk_store.dmg' -target /Volumes/LogfileRAMdisk/ -noverify
Here is the script and plist file in question.
Note that 'set -vx' is up at the top of the script; it give a lot of information about what is happening in the script.
My current theory is that the /Volumes directory does not exist at this stage of the boot process, but that seems unlikely to be honest.
