Help with launch transmission daemon on startup system wide

Post by shifomu »

Hi,

I recently had to re install OS X El capitan on my mac mini. Before doing this I had transmission daemon working system wide before any user logged in. I'm trying to create the same setup but for the life of me I can't get it to work.

I used brew install transmission to install transmission.

I am a root user.

below is my .plist file located in \library\launchagents but i have also copied it into the launchdaemons folder too


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>homebrew.mxcl.transmission</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/opt/transmission/bin/transmission-daemon</string>
<string>--foreground</string>
<string>--config-dir</string>
<string>/usr/local/var/transmission/</string>
<string>--log-info</string>
<string>--logfile</string>
<string>/usr/local/var/transmission/transmission-daemon.log</string>
</array>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<dict>
<key>NetworkState</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

any help would be appreciated.
