What is a plist?
.plists are simple XML document types used throughout Mac OS X. This format defines a set of primitive types, and is used within CLM for definition.
Create plist to trigger program to run at a specific time
- This is done with the
launchdagent on Mac OS - Make sure to place it under
~/Library/LaunchAgents. ~denotes home directory.
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.launchd.example.plist
Obsidian --> git workflow plist
instead of the cron tab
- on MacOS use
launchdservice - store within
~/Library/LaunchAgents/us.shwetha.obsidian.plistfor example - the XML path will be as follows:
# Creating a Obsidian.md ---> Gitlab workflow
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
