Can someone give me an example of a very simple launchd.plist file that...

Question

Launches an agent and allows the agent general internet access?
I have this simple plist but what happens is that launchd launches it and then kills it (abort) and then launches it again and does the same thing 10 times and quits. I have traced the 'action' that causes this. As soon as my app tries to get a socket and connect, it is killed.
I did put in a socket thing in the launchd plist file, but then it seems that launchd answers the call, not the thing I want to, then my app gets stuck on a recv call thinking it has sent data to a server and is waiting for an answer which will never come.
I do not know if they have these for macs (I am sure they do), but imagine a tool like ICQ or Instant Messenger. It loads when the user logs on, you have your contacts list, and it coordinates via some foreign server, although once a match is made direct connects to person you are chatting with.
How would you launch an agent like that? I can't figure out the plist entries needed. I can either launch my app and have it get "locked" by a recv call cause launchd answered the connect, and accepted the send, or I can remove the socket stuff and get in this cycle of launches and aborts.
A simple example would be of great help.

Answer 1

An object is a good way to implement this. For the first, the object would look like this:
var oT1 = {
    "5" : 0.1,
    "50" : 2,
    "75" : 6,
    "100" : 12
To get the value associated with the 100 property, the code would look something like:
var val = oT1["100"];
The variable "val" would then contain the number 12.
For the second, the value of each object property could be an array, something like:
var oT2 = {
    "Debbie" : [5, 0, 16],
    "Carl" : [0, 20, 4],
    "Josh" : [2, 8, 19]
To get the second item in the array for the "Josh" array, the code would look like:
var val = oT2["Josh"][1];
To get the last item in the "Debbie" array, you could do this:
var val = oT2["Debbie"][2];
Array indexes are zero-based, so the second item has an index of 1, third item is 2, etc..
Good luck
