launchd is not passing arguments to my PHP script I'm having a weird problem. I use launchd to run a bunch of shell scripts that update content on my site. It was working fine when it was just calling scripts normally. But now I made the script a little more complicated, and the launchd plist needs to send an argument when it calls the script. No problem, launchd has ProgramArguments just for that. Problem is, it's just not working. Here is the important part of my launchd.plist:

&lt;key&gt;ProgramArguments&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;array&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;/scripts/content.php&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;update&lt;/string&gt;
    &lt;/array&gt;


I've omitted just a Label key and a StarCalendarInterval key. As you can see, the path to the script is the first element in the array. That seems to be the most common cause of this problem. 

So to be clear, this DOES launch my script. But it does NOT pass any arguments. I had the script output print_r($argv) to an error log and it outputs this:

Array ( [0] =&gt; /scripts/content.php )


Most important here, is that if I run the following from the command line, my script runs perfectly and as expected:
./content.php update

It seems like I'm doing everything right, I'm not sure what's going on with this?
If you edit a .plist you need to run launchctl unload ... and launchctl load ..., otherwise the system will keep using the previous (cached) version.
