We're calling `wait4path` on the full, resolved `@bindir@/nix-daemon` path.
That means we're hardcoding something like:
/bin/wait4path /nix/store/zs9c5xhp3zv9p23qnjxp87nl5injsi1i-nix-2.3/bin/nix-daemon && /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix-daemon
That seems unnecessarily fragile.
It might be better to wait4path on the path we intend to call.
On Catalina, the /nix filesystem might not be mounted at start time.
To avoid this service not starting, we need to keep the launch agent
outside of the Nix store. A wait4pid will hold for our /nix dir to be
mounted.
Fixes#3125.
When using a volume, the nix-daemon path may not exist. To avoid this
issue, we must use the wait4path tool. This should solve one of the
issues in multi-user on macOS Catalina.
Since macOS 10.14 this has become an error, causing problems if the
nix-daemon loads nix during substitution (this is a forked process).
Workaround for #2523.
