Hi Stephane, Thanks for your reply, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm not using launchctl to set a startup/login item, I'm using it to allow the user to specify a schedule to perform various tasks based on a particular time and day of the week. While I could write a login item which ran indefinitely and took care of the timing myself, it seems like I'd be reinventing the wheel! I already moved from cron to launchd to support the AppStore, which was a pain, so I really hope Apple doesn't want me to roll my own timing mechanism just to support sandboxing! Still, it's an option which I'll bear in mind, so thanks for that.
