| 3 | 1 | m4yer | The best way to autostart a script on Mac, is to use the default autostart deamon: *launchd* |
| 4 | 1 | m4yer | |
| 5 | 1 | m4yer | First you need to make a property list file (plist), which launchd can load. |
| 6 | 1 | m4yer | |
| 7 | 1 | m4yer | Here's an example plist (by e-jat) |
| 8 | 1 | m4yer | @<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> |
| 9 | 1 | m4yer | <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> |
| 10 | 1 | m4yer | <plist version="1.0"> |
| 11 | 1 | m4yer | <dict> |
| 12 | 1 | m4yer | <key>Label</key> |
| 13 | 1 | m4yer | <string>com.quasselcore.daemon</string> |
| 14 | 1 | m4yer | <key>ProgramArguments</key> |
| 15 | 1 | m4yer | <array> |
| 16 | 1 | m4yer | <string>/Applications/Quassel/quasselcore</string> |
| 17 | 1 | m4yer | </array> |
| 18 | 1 | m4yer | <key>RunAtLoad</key> |
| 19 | 1 | m4yer | <true/> |
| 20 | 1 | m4yer | <key>WorkingDirectory</key> |
| 21 | 1 | m4yer | <string>/Applications/Quassel</string> |
| 22 | 1 | m4yer | </dict> |
| 23 | 1 | m4yer | </plist>@ |
| 24 | 1 | m4yer | |
| 25 | 1 | m4yer | |
| 26 | 1 | m4yer | Save this file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.quassel-irg.quasselcore.plist, then go into Terminal and, in your home directory, run: |
| 27 | 1 | m4yer | |
| 28 | 1 | m4yer | @launchctl load Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.TextEdit.plist@ |
| 29 | 1 | m4yer | |
| 30 | 2 | m4yer | quasselcore should now run and start automatically at boot. |
