Slogger "Exited with code: 1"

[bjornkri]

I mentioned this here, but this seems to be a separate issue since slogger runs fine for me from the command line.

But when I do launchctl start com.bjornkri.Slogger, which contains the exact same command as I run from the command line (/usr/bin/ruby /Volumes/Belbo/Development/personal/Slogger/slogger), I get the following in console:

08/11/13 10:17:22,316 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[285]: (com.bjornkri.Slogger[49922]) Exited with code: 1

This started happening after upgrading to Mavericks.

Same here. Mavericks, even reinstalled Slogger. Script work OK from the command line, but Exited with code: 1 from Launchd

Same symptoms here. When I run slogger from a remote ssh command line I get the following... Related?

$ ./slogger -t 2

Does your launchd plist look a bit like this? https://github.com/ttscoff/Slogger/issues/204#issuecomment-28878050

[randomphrase]

Pretty much:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I'm having the same issue. Did any body get it going?

[arcterex]

I'm having a similar issue, tried adding / removing the job to launchctl through the install script a few time, but still get this as soon as I start it:

Dec 23 16:29:38 imac2013 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501217: Exited with code: 1 Dec 23 16:29:38 imac2013 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501217: Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds Dec 23 16:29:49 imac2013 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501217: Exited with code: 1 Dec 23 16:29:49 imac2013 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501217: Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

I'm also having the same issue... 4/1/2014 11:50:11.366 pm com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[166]: (com.brettterpstra.Slogger[12445]) Exited with code: 1
If I run the command direct in the terminal in runs correctly.

[notverypc]

OK... So I'm not sure how, but the launchd is now working correctly.. Typical!!

[notverypc]

Hmmm so I had the restart my MacBook and now I get the same error as before..

[randomphrase]

Just as a data point, it seems that adding the following to the launchd plist seems to fix the problem:

<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
<dict>
  <key>LANG</key>
  <string>en_US.UTF-8</string>
</dict>

[alanleftofthedot]

@randomphrase That might have done it! I'm not going to declare success just yet, but it did just run via launchctl.... I'll make sure it's still running tomorrow though before I throw a random dance party :)

[cobbenterprises]

@randomphrase Where in the file did you place it? Could you please post a full updated plist for me? Thanks!

[alanleftofthedot]

@cobbenterprises mine looks like this:

<!-- @@@@LingonWhatStart:/usr/bin/ruby /Users/alan/bin/Slogger/slogger@@@@LingonWhatEnd -->

Then I load it in Lingon, load it, save it, and then quit Lingon.

@alanleftofthedot Glad that fix worked for you

[cobbenterprises]

Looks like it's running for me now as well. Thanks for the help!

[notverypc]

Same here!
