Error while executing .plist file Path had bad ownership/permissions
Try changing the ownership of the .plist file: sudo chown root /Library/LaunchDaemons/myfile.plist sudo chgrp wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/myfile.plist or more simply, change the user and group in one command: sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/myfile.plist It is also worth noting that these root LaunchDaemons can’t be world writable, for security reasons: sudo chmod o-w /Library/LaunchDaemons/*
