sorry if this is a FAQ, i can't find it anywhere.

can i make a freshly installed application run at startup?

Can you specify what you mean by startup:

- during boot time (1)

or

- after login (2)

?

For (1), you can't run any application during boot time if it includes a User Interface and one of the solutions is to use LaunchDaemons.

For (2), you have 3 solutions:

- add the application to the LoginItems

- use a LaunchAgent

- use another API you can get information on by contacting DTS.
