Logon Script For Mac

If you don't mind a bit of reading, I'd suggest starting with. I haven't tested it, but I believe the easiest way to do what you want is via a launchd agent. That essentially involves dropping a plist file in /Library/LaunchAgents. A nice side benefit of this is that you could overwrite the same file there as many times as you like, and you shouldn't get multiple instances of your item (per user). Something like: #!/bin/sh cat /Library/LaunchAgents/com.serverfault.myapp.plist

From that technical note mentioned above, I gleaned:. A global login item is a login item that is launched when any user logs in. In Mac OS X 10.5 and later you can install a global login item using the shared file lists interface to Launch Services API. On earlier systems, you can install a login item not a global login item by sending Apple events to the System Events process. So perhaps this no longer works reliably as of 10.5?. Prior to Mac OS X 10.5 there is no supported way to install a global login item. That's crazy.

I believe that a lot of applications (prior to launchd in 10.5) used to manipulate the loginwindow.plist file directly. Unfortunately, a lot of them did it incorrectly – I can't tell you how many half-XML-half-binary-all-broken loginwindow.plist files I've seen.
