Thanks, Andrew.
Some clarifications (and apologies that this is technically off-topic
for radmind-users, but is nonetheless of interest to many radmind
admins using OS X):
The plist _must_ be placed in /Library/LaunchAgents. You can then
either reboot, or do this:
launchctl load -S LoginWindow -D local
which tells launchd to load Agents with a Session type of
"LoginWindow" from the local domain.
Now the job is loaded. To actually run the job:
launchctl start edu.umich.iHook.loginwindow
or whatever you've edited the job label to be.
I've noticed that when iHook is running this way, Command-L seems to
be ignored, so I cannot open the log drawer. Not a big deal.
