Run Applescript at startup

[an0nymous]

How can I achieve this?

[Ray_Barber]

Can’t you just save it as an “on run” application and stick it in login items?

hey an0nymous,

i have asked that question in my thread and this was the respose i got…

System Prefs > Accounts > Startup

And this is the programatically way (didn’t test since a long time ago):
Open this Scriplet in your Editor:

tell application "System Events" to ¬
   make login item at end with properties {path:POSIX path of (choose file), hidden:false}

NOTE: I think it’s “choose file” instead “POSIX path of (choose file)” in Tiger. Not sure in Panther.

First, save your script as an application. Next, open System Preferences and choose Accounts. After that, click on Login Items, then click the ‘+’ button. Use this panel to choose your application.
