Running @task at Startup Using Mac OS

Use the following procedure to run @task at startup using MacOS

To run @task at startup
1. Open the terminal application.
2. Change directories to your AtTask installation:

'cd PATH/TO/AtTask/Mac\ SystemStarter/'

3. Make a directory in StartupItems:

'sudo mkdir /Library/StartupItems/AtTask4'

4. Move the AtTask and StartupParameters.plist files into that directory:

'sudo mv ./* /Library/StartupItems/AtTask4/'

5. Change the ownership of those files to root:

'sudo chown -R root /Library/StartupItems/AtTask4/*'

6. Change the group of those files to wheel:
7. 'sudo chgrp -R wheel /Library/StartupItems/AtTask4/*'
8. Change the permissions of those files:
9. 'sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/StartupItems/AtTask4/*'

@task will now start by itself when you restart your computer.

You can test this functionality by issuing the command:

'sudo SystemStarter -vdn start AtTask4'

You can manually start @task with the command:

'sudo SystemStarter start AtTask4'

You can manually stop @task with the command

'sudo SystemStarter stop AtTask4'
