Is it possible to execute a script in the current user's home directory with a ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ agent? I current have (not working):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.puppies</string>
        <key>OnDemand</key>
        <true/>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
          <string>/bin/sh</string>
          <string>~/script.sh</string>
        </array>
        <key>StartInterval</key>
        <integer>3600</integer></dict>

Set EnableGlobbing to true:

<key>EnableGlobbing</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
    <string>say</string>
    <string>~/*</string>
</array>

EnableGlobbing enables expanding tildes and globs in ProgramArguments but not in Program. Tildes are expanded in WatchPaths and QueueDirectories by default.
