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.
thanks for the response.
sorry for not being clear; i meant the app should run on login for
the user who ran the installer.
another responder suggested using defaults or PListBuddy to add an
entry to ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist . ideally there
would be a more elegant solution.
for the first option, would I create a symlink or alias to
~/LoginItems to the application? this is going to get done in a
postinstall script (unless there's a better place for it).
thanks for any help with this,
j
