Has the mysql daemon started at this point in the system startup
procedure? IIRC, there's a way to add an explicit service dependency
in your LaunchAgent plist to indicate that you need other services
running. That would definitely lead to catalog loading errors/issues.

The "-r" flag is used to restart the IC daemon, although it should
start afresh with only a warning that the previous instance was not
running. You can add the interch user's ~/bin to your path if you
want to allow easier restart of the IC server (i.e., if this was an
intentional behavior).

I don't know that this will cause issues, but there's no reason to
have it run on demand. Since IC is a daemon, it doesn't make sense to
have launchd doing anything but the initial launch. Also, no port or
other identifier is set to trigger the on-demanded-ness, so I don't
think it'd end up doing anything anyway. :-)
