Is it possible to implement the following shell script completely as a launchd plist to generate a signature with timestamp in the StandardErrorPath / StandardErrorPath files?

#!/bin/sh echo "Hi, your FOO.plist was here at $(date)"

This one doesn't work:

… <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>echo</string> <string>"Hi, your FOO.plist was here at $(date)"</string> </array> …

launchd does not interpret $(date). A shell does:

<key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/bin/sh</string> <string>-c</string> <string>echo Hi, your FOO.plist was here at $(date)</string> </array>
