For å kjøre puppet regelmessig på macosx kan det vere greit å legge det som en launchd jobb.

Mappen “/Library/LaunchDaemons” inneheld alle demoner / demonlignende ting som skal kjøyrast uavhengig av brukar.

plist fila under kjøyrer puppet agent –test kvart 3600 sekund, altså 1 gang i timen. Den kjører også når sjølve launchd jobben vert lasta (typisk ved oppstart av maskina).
