daemon

I have a deamon which is registered with launchctl to run as system-wide-daemon and to load automatically with every system startup or if the daemon crashes.

I have registered this daemon with:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/plist.file

Everything works fine. My daemon is registered and with

sudo launchctl list

I can find the entry at launchctl

But on some Macs after the user restarts the system, my daemon is not running. And with the command sudo launchctl list I can't find the entry anymore.

Any ideas, why the entry is missing???
