I got two accounts on my Mac, one for personal stuff and one for work. I install everything with brew using the personal account, which makes to tools also available on the work account. I set up yabai on my personal account first and afterward, I copied the config to my work account. But yabai does not work on my work account. The service starts but nothing happens. When I manually run a yabai command I get the following error:

yabai-msg: failed to connect to socket..

Have I missed something setting up yabai?

Uh, I believe this could be an issue with the log files being shared between users (and the work account probably does not have the necessary file permissions), causing yabai to not launch properly. Will be fixed when #1619 (needs further adjustment) goes live in next release.

Should work fine in v5.0.4 that does not rely on brew services.
