For starting a launchdaemon on the system, which command do you execute?

To start a launch daemon on the system, the appropriate command is designed to manage the lifecycle of launch services, including loading and starting daemons. The command 'launchctl bootstrap' is specifically used to load a launch daemon into the launchd system, which is crucial for it to start running.

This command not only initializes the daemon but also places it in the context of launchd, which manages system processes on macOS. By using 'launchctl bootstrap', you ensure that the launch daemon is correctly integrated with the system's service management framework.

In contrast, other commands such as 'launchctl start' and 'launchctl run' do not serve the purpose of bootstrapping a daemon from a file directly; instead, they manage existing services. Additionally, 'launchctl initiate' is not a recognized command in this context and would not successfully execute any action related to launching a daemon.

This distinction is crucial for managing daemons effectively and ensures that you use the command that aligns with the operational structure of macOS's launch management.
