Clever script.
But who knows to which file Apple's launchctl writes environments vars?
And who knows which 'path-file' LC uses at startup for it's $PATH?

So I would like to propose *moreover* to ensure that /usr/local/bin
is added to $PATH ( I have here the paths:
/usr/local/bin/brew and /usr/local/bin/npm )
