[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-21237) Jenkins should use LaunchAgents under OSX

[cow...@java.net (JIRA)]

cowwoc commented on JENKINS-21237 Jenkins should use LaunchAgents under OSX @Randall First rule of security: anyone with physical access to a computer can subvert any protection you put in (they can remove the HD and probe it using an external Linux/OSX installation). I don't think it makes sense to protect against such a case. I can't believe you'd want to give Jenkins more permissions than it need (root privileges) because when it inevitably gets exploited (Jenkins is not the most secure software in the world) your entire OS just got exploited as well. I'd much rather run Jenkins under a normal (non-admin) user account. @Sami Tikka: I'm trying to run the iOS simulator under a Jenkins slave under OSX. As far as I know, this requires us to install Jenkins under ~/LaunchAgents.
