Hi there,
I'm new to Splunk and am testing out installing splunk forwarder on some Mac clients running High Sierra following the documentation for installing and running splunk as a non-root user here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.2/Installation/RunSplunkasadifferentornon-rootuser
So far everything is working fine with the exception of getting boot-start to work. I've followed the documentation on setting that up here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.2/Admin/ConfigureSplunktostartatboottime#Enable_boot-start_as_a_non-root_user
However, whenever I reboot the machine after making the edits to com.splunk.plist splunk doesn't start until I start manually. This is the contents of the com.splunk.plist before I restart the machine.
<?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">

<key>UserName</key>

<key>Label</key>
<string>com.splunk</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Applications/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk</string>
<string>start</string>
<string>--no-prompt</string>
<string>--answer-yes</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Any ideas on how to proceed? Any help would be appreciated.
