Set the WorkingDirectory to user's home in launchd?
I understand that you can change a LaunchAgent's working directory with a WorkingDirectory key, but is there any way to set the Working Directory to a user's home directory reliably and portably within the plist? Can I do something like:
<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
<string>~</string>
and have it work?
Solution 1:
launchd doesn't know about shell mechansims like ~ or $HOME. Instead you can use one of the following
- Specify the full path in the plist
- Add
cd $HOMEat the beginning of the executedscript
