thanks for u r reply Conrad Shultz
i am using this below script for creating a shortcut icon for my test application on my desktop, when i install my package.
#!/bin/sh
`chmod -R 777 /Applications/test.app`
`ln -s /Applications/test.app ~/Desktop/`
First time when i install my package it creates a shortcut icon on desktop ,when i uninstall and install again (second time)
there is no shortcut icon on my desktop.

Hi All,
I need to run this ln -s /Applications/test.app ~/Desktop/ command for every boot on Mac OS 10.6.
Please can any one suggest me how to do this .
1) This has nothing to do with Cocoa.
2) Symlinking at every boot between two fixed paths seems really unusual
(unless ~/Desktop is getting wiped every time for some reason). It
should also be noted that ~ doesn't mean a whole lot at boot time since
it is determined by the logged-in user. My first guess is that you are
using autologin to a guest account of some sort that does not persist
files, in which case there are likely better ways to accomplish whatever
result is intended from your question.
3) If you are interested in the general topic of automated execution,
Google "login items" (for an easy user-configurable method) or "launchd"
(OS X's full-featured Swiss army knife of automated execution, roughly a
replacement for the System V init/cron scripts and more).
