So I have made an Automator application and put it in my login/startup items. My Automator application is an infinite loop. I didn't want it to display an icon in the dock, so I asked this question. The answer I got said to put a LSUIElement in the info.plist. I did, but now it has a rotating gear icon in the menu, which doesn't stop.

Nothing you can do about it. It only removes the Dock icon and menubar, and not menu bar icons explicitly set by the application, as is the case with Automator programs. Are you sure Automator is the way to go if it's an infinite loop? If it's a shell program you start, consider running an AppleScript based application with a do shell script '/path/to/script' command only – Daniel Beck Jan 2 at 15:47
