My mac osx launched plist won't run

问题

it looks like it loads but has a status of 1 when using launchctl list and using launchctl start ... it says No such Process... i have it saved in /Users/IMG/Library/LaunchAgents. The sh script runs fine. the logging doesn't show anything - no file created.. I am very new to plist so please forgive ignorance.

The first thing I thought was the process does not have permission to create the standard output log file (although I imagine the default value for working directory for a personal agent would be the user's home directory). There is an optional property key for WorkingDirectory - perhaps try setting that to see if anything changes.

Reference: Launchd.plist man page

In XCode 4.5.2, under the Product menu, you need to pick Edit Scheme. You will see the manage schemes box appear with several schemes. One of these is called Run <ProjectName>. Click the checkbox next to Working Directory Use custom working directory and point that to the path where your plist is at.

This elaborates on the answer given by unhillbilly. So thanks unhillbilly for steering me towards the Working Directory.
