LaunchAgent script - Operation not permitted

[John Greer]

I just noticed that my main LaunchAgent script last worked on January 29th. It runs at midnight and backs-up important stuff to OneDrive.

• The script lives in /usr/local/bin
• /bin/bash has full-disk access
• The script runs fine when I run it standalone
• It runs, but all of the commands within fail: Operation not permitted

HELP!

P.S. I'm running macOS Monterey v12.3

I figured it out!

My script backs-up critical data to OneDrive. On the day it stopped working, I enabled a OneDrive feature called "Free Up Space." I did that to minimize my Time Machine backup size. I just read a blurb that said OneDrive on Mac began having trouble with this on, wait for it, Jan 30th.

Once I reversed that, and went back to "Always Keep on This Device," the script works again!
