Mac OSX launchctl plist for poller - worked ..

[jskogsta]

Not sure if anyone else have had some issues with getting cacti going on Mac OSX. I recently installed in a mac mini with mariadb, but had problems getting the 'unix ping' to work on configured devices. Cron was tempramental and technically Apple's deprecating cron for launchctl. Hacked together this launchctl and then it worked.. #yay. Just posting in case anyone runs into similar issues:

Most of my stuff is installed with Homebrew if it exists there.. Anyhow.. hopefully this can help someone in the same boat..
