LaunchAgents (Library/LaunchAgents)

  Add the following to image under Library/LaunchAgents

  • com.mj.personaliseoffice.plist (oofice personlisation)

An agent is a process that runs in the background on behalf of a particular user. Agents are useful because they can do things that daemons can't, like reliably access the user's home directory or connect to the window server.

A launchd agent is like a launchd daemon, except that it runs on behalf of a particular user. It is launched by launchd, typically as part of the process of logging in the user.

A third party launchd agent should be installed by adding a property list file to the ~/Library/LaunchAgents directory (to be invoked just for this user) or /Library/LaunchAgents directory (to be invoked for all users).
