No idea. I hope someone else can answer this

Here is what I have so far for it:

1. Create a file called net.tidusjar.ombi.plist in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents directory with the following content:

<?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>KeepAlive</key>
    <dict>
        <key>SuccessfulExit</key>
        <false/>
    </dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>Ombi</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/spowart/Movies/Ombi</string>
        <string>Ombi</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
    <string>/Users/spowart/Movies/Ombi</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Bit I am not sure about is how to target the Ombi _Unix executable_
Also how do you make the launch file do this command:
./Ombi https://github.com/tidusjar/Ombi/wiki/Installation#macos

    <array>
        <string>/Users/spowart/Movies/Ombi</string>
        <string>Ombi</string>
    </array>

1. In Terminal:
   To enable the daemon: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.tidusjar.ombi.plist
   To disable the daemon: launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.tidusjar.ombi.plist

Credit to @kamikasky for mono v2 setup i'm biassing this on that.

Made a Apple Script Automation App as a work-around:
Going to use this till I can get the Daemon working.

on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Terminal"
        set terminal to window 1
        activate
        do script with command "cd /Users/spowart/Movies/Ombi" in terminal 
        do script with command "./Ombi" in terminal
    end tell
end run

Have it setup as a login App. "Login Items"

Have attached the ombi.app in a zip, if anyone wants to use or improve it..
You can edit the path by ombi.app in Automator.app
Just need to to edit the /Users/spowart/Movies/Ombi to your install location of Ombi.

This is what I've got set up and it works like a charm...

Create a .plist file in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder.
I've name mine as: com.PlaceTheServer.Ombi.plist

<?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.PlaceTheServer.Ombi</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>./Ombi</string>
    </array>
    <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
    <string>/Applications/Ombi</string>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Notes:

• This requires your Ombi directory be in your Applications folder.
• _com.PlaceTheServer.Ombi_ can be named whatever you want.

Indeed it you can manually load and unload using launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.PlaceTheServer.Ombi.plist and launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.PlaceTheServer.Ombi.plist in Terminal, respectively.
