Create a launch daemon?

[GTRsdk]

I'm trying to create a launch daemon so I can have an application normally launched from the command line launch each and every time the device starts.

I have tried just creating a .plist file, moving it to the LaunchDaemons folders, but it hasn't worked yet.

This is on an iPod Touch on iOS 5.0.1 (redsn0w untethered).

And where is the binary located? -_-

I don't really know much about how these work, but wouldn't it have to have something somewhere else telling it to launch it when it boots, or do all of the ones in the folder automatically boot?

I'm ASSUMING it's like a batch file?

I did a quick google and found this link http://www.ifans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=326838 It's "helpful" but not a tut

this link has an example dunno if that helps https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0

I believe it is /usr/bin/supybot (just plain old supybot works when ssh'ed into the device).

Hmm... I can't even get it to work if I tell it to run a bash script.

Okay so here's my .plist file..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN">
<plist version="1.0">

<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.gtrsdk.bot</string>

    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/private/var/root/script.sh</string>
    </array>

    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>

  <key>StartInterval</key>
  <integer>1</integer>


</dict>

</plist>

I can't figure out what I did wrong... Maybe I need to specify somewhere to launch this?
Or are there permission problems?

I think I read smewhere the permission should be wheel not root

[GTRsdk]

I ran chown root:wheel (which supposedly make root and wheel the owners) on both the script and plist file.

Did I run the right command? I can't get it to work. I have rebooted my device and it still doesn't work. The program hasn't been started.
