I followed the instructions on the page Creating Launch Daemons and Agents and created (as root) my own plist file named com.personal.brew.plist and located in /Library/LaunchDeamons/:

<?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">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.personal.brew</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>brew</string>
        <string>upgrade</string>
    </array>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <false/>
</dict>
</plist>

The issue is that it's not doing anything. What I want to achieve is have brew check for upgrades once every week (ex.: each Sunday), after boot. How can I change the script to do this?

I'm on Mojave 10.14.1.

  • You didn’t specify a time or interval when it’s supposed to run – Allan Dec 15 '18 at 0:31
  • You do not want to do this. Automatic unattended updates are a bad idea. – Marc Wilson Dec 15 '18 at 22:11
