My plist has below keys:

<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>$HOME/launchd.stdout.log</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>SHOME<string>$HOME/launchd.stderr.log</string>

But it doesn't identify $HOME. What I want is to load this plist in different user accounts as I cant hardcode my user name.

How can I achieve this ultimate aim?
