You've almost got it. I believe this might come close to working,
assuming for example that you want -Rf options on cp:
...
<key>Program</key>
<string>/bin/cp</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>-R</string>
<string>f</string>
If you want -Rf options, I'm pretty sure it should be:
<string>-Rf</string>
Otherwise it needs to be:
<string>-R</string>
<string>-f</string>
It's an imperfect analogy, but think of each <string> element as
equivalent to a quoted element in the command-line.
This:
cp "-Rf" "/source/path" "/dest/path"
is very different from this:
cp "-R" "f" "/source/path" "/dest/path"
I will also point out you can use actual bash command-lines, with
wild-cards and IO-redirection and everything, by running bash with
the -c option. This has its risks, but it also has its uses.
I don't recommend this for the inexperienced, because it's too easy
to make disastrous mistakes in a launch-agent. It will then execute
with all the unstoppable indifference of the enchanted broomstick
from the Sorceror's Apprentice segment of Disney's Fantasia, only
much MUCH faster.
