Hi everyone!

Today I'm going on to talk about how to execute some script on once user logged in.

The full instruction is seporated to three main steps:

• Create executor
• add the executor to user's login items
• enable auto login after reboot/turn on a mac.

1. Create executor:

• Open Automator (if you don know where is it just type Automator in the search field).
• Choose Application
• Select Library item at the left.
• Type "Run Shell Script" in the search field of middle part of the window.
• Double click to Run Shell Script in search results
• Add any script you want to execute on once user logged in. The script should be added in the right part of the window.
• Click run to check if everything is ok.
• Save as application (Click save and chose file format as Application).

2. Add the executor to user's login items:

• Open system preferences
• Click to Users & Groups
• Choose necessary user
• At the right side of window go to Login items tab.
• Add aplication which was created in the first step.

3.  Enable auto login after reboot/turn on a mac.

• In the Users & Groups window select Login Options
• Unlock preferences if needed.
• Choose necessary user name in the Automatic login drop down list and type password.
• Close preferences window.

Now you can reboot mac and make sure the script starts always on once user logged in.

Enjoy. Have a good day!
