Sample script:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello?"
... (other things)

When run via launchd, it definitely runs (the other things are being done) but nothing shows up in /var/log/system.log. I'm running OS 10.9 Mavericks.

I tried replacing that line with

syslog -s "HELLO?"

but that also shows nothing. I should also add that I'm running the launchd script as a login script but specifying that it run as a daemon user. The user does not have root access. However, I've also tried running syslog as root, and still, nothing shows up in the logs.

This happens on multiple systems.

I found a workaround here:

Replace "echo" with "logger". Wonder where the output of echo goes.
