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.
Again, your best bet is to install a package with a RunAtStartup script.
Since it's a script, you should be able to modify it to log
information that could prove useful.
You could also try playing with the ENABLE_RUNNER_DEBUGGING env.
