It could be necessary for some sort of installer that needs to restart the OS and then needs to run something afterwards. (Some of Apple's firmware updaters do this.) But yeah, I can think of very few cases where it would be needed... > If you have a good reason for this, please read System Startup > Programming Topics in the documentation: > http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/BPSystemStartup.html Um, he said "run an _application_". That's not the appropriate documentation for that. The right thing to do is to add the app as a login item, and then when the app launches, have it remove itself. (Is there an official API yet for manipulating login items, or do you still have to mess with a .plist?) —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
