Warning: Expecting a LaunchDaemons path since the command was ran as root. Got LaunchAgents instead. launchctl bootstrap is a recommended alternative 通义千问 chatgpt 有大用 有大大用

The message you're receiving indicates that you're attempting to run a command as root, expecting it to affect the LaunchDaemons directory, but it is instead affecting the LaunchAgents directory.

LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents are both used for managing background processes on macOS, but they serve different purposes:

• LaunchDaemons are used for system-level services that should be started at boot time, even if no user is logged in.

• LaunchAgents are used for per-user services that should be started when a specific user logs in.

If you're trying to manage a system-level service and you're getting this warning, you should ensure that you're working with the correct path. You might need to specify the full path to the LaunchDaemons directory, which is typically /Library/LaunchDaemons.

Alternatively, you can use the launchctl bootstrap command as suggested. This command allows you to load a plist file into the appropriate launchd domain (either LaunchDaemons or LaunchAgents) based on the context. To load a plist file into the LaunchDaemons domain as root, you can use a command like this:

bash
sudo launchctl bootstrap system /path/to/your.plist

Replace /path/to/your.plist with the actual path to your property list file. This command will load the service as a system-level daemon.
