Hi,

 

What is the recommended way to install something into /Library/StartupItems? I need to put some items in there, can I just create the Library/StartupItems structure with the items when I create the package or should I copy the items in during postflight?

 

If I just create the package with the Library/StartupItems structure and if other software puts items in there, then my package runs, it won’t ‘reset’ the Library/StartupItems folder will it, deleting the other items (to match the given structure in my package) will it?

 

TIA.

 

Thank you kindly and have a great day,

Ben Lam
