Fixes basecamp#473 When running the install script multiple times on Yosemite (10.10), the `launchctl bootstrap` commands fail with a 133 exit code and a message “Operation already in progress”. I’ve found that the `bootstrap`/`enable` commands can be replaced with `load -Fw` to ensure the job is running. `kickstart -k` is still needed to restart the job in the case of an upgrade or re-installation.

Ping! 👋 Would be great to get this released and avoid the gotcha of silently failing when upgrading and reinstalling pow. Anything I can do to make it easier to merge? |

+1 on this fix! |

+1 Nothing on pow since Oct 2014. |

If others want to use this fix (so you can run the install script idempotently), use: |

FYI, this fix also applies to El Capitan. |

Fixes #473
When running the install script multiple times on Yosemite (10.10), the
launchctl bootstrapcommands fail with a 133 exit code and a message“Operation already in progress”.
I’ve found that the
bootstrap/enablecommands can be replaced withload -Fwto ensure the job is running.kickstart -kis still needed to restart the job in the case of anupgrade or re-installation.
NB: I'm not very familiar w/ launchctl and I couldn't find much documentation beyond the
manpage.I'm also not sure why or if the
-Fforce flag is needed forload, but I saw it used elsewhere, and it doesn't seem to hurt.This is tested on the latest public version of OS X Yosemite,
10.10.3.
