echo "mail@example.com" > email.txt
Replace /Users/zarinozappia/repos/iphone-stock-check/ in uk.co.zarino.iphonestockcheck.plist with the path to your checkout of this repo.
Install the plist and tell launchd to use it:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
cp uk.co.zarino.iphonestockcheck.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/uk.co.zarino.iphonestockcheck.plist
Check it’s installed:
launchctl list | grep zarino
The script will run once immediately upon being loaded into launchctl, and then every 600 seconds thereafter.
So you should get an email to the address you specified. If you don’t, any output generated by the script will be logged to stdout.log and stderr.log in the repo directory.
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/uk.co.zarino.iphonestockcheck.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/uk.co.zarino.iphonestockcheck.plist
