Thanks for the replying. I know and understand what this RunAtStartup
purpose is. I am asking if anyone knows what the installer does to the
system to prepare for the script to run at start. Does it create a
startup item, enable a launchd script, put the script in a special
location for the reboot to use.

Hey Everyone,
I know that Apple's installer will respect the "RunAtStartup"
script for an installer script. Does anyone know what actually
happens with that script and where it is placed to be run at boot
time?
IIRC, this script is launched on the next restart.
It is only launched if:
- you required root authentication for the package
- the package requires a restart.
For the location, you can use fs_usage to check where the file will
get installed. This may require a remote connection as Installer.app
may or may not copy this file after the user has been logged out.
