In my limited knowledge in this area, I'd think that calling the script in startup/boot like this describes: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ might help. Or maybe a tkinter/wxpython app, that hides itself continuously, buit there might still be a launched icon on the app bar your OS should have. I haven't used OSX Mountain Lion, yet. I like looking at different OS setups. -- Best Regards, David Hutto *CEO:* *http://www.hitwebdevelopment.com*
