Run this once your launchd file is ready: (sudo) cp com.kolonial.tech.updatedb.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons

To have the task run at a specific time (cron-esque):

<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
<dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>10</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>37</integer>
</dict>

To load the task: launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.kolonial.tech.updatedb.plist

To unload the task: launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.kolonial.tech.updatedb.plist

To start the task: launchctl start com.kolonial.tech.updatedb

To stop the task: launchctl stop com.kolonial.tech.updatedb

To determine if the task loaded: launchctl list | grep kolonial

To debug a task: Look at /tmp/test.stdout and /tmp/test.stderr
