minor nit: please add a description where to put it (~/Library/LaunchAgents) somewhere around this file.

Would be nice to see some markup compatible informations/documentations in contrib/init/README.md.

Also for this PR we should probably mention that one can/needs to adjust the bitcoind path. IMO the path /usr/local/bin/bitcoind is not recommended on OSX (brew and macports) probably use a different path.

I agree with adding more documentation and I'll work on that. I chose /usr/local/bin because it is included in the standard OS X PATH. The other default locations are /usr/bin , /bin , /usr/sbin , and /sbin which are all populated with system tools where as /usr/local/bin doesn't actually exist until you create it and add some tools to it, implying that its purpose is for local tools added by the user. It is also where homebrew symlinks most tools to.

@jonasschnelli would adding documentation in doc/init.md be okay? It's referenced at the end of contrib/init/README.md as the location for more info.
jonasschnelli commented at 2:55 PM on September 19, 2015: contributor

Adding documentation to docs/init.md would make sense. Yes.

Will merge this after documentation added to init.md
