OSX - ...Creating a login hook for automatically running synergy server after system startup
steps to reproduce :)
1. Launch a Terminal window, and become root: $ sudo su -
2. Assuming that there is no login hook yet - create new one by:
- create a folder for storing custom login script eg. mkdir -p /Library/LoginWindow
- In this folder, create a new script file (let's name it LoginHook.sh), containing the following text:
#!/bin/sh
prog=($PATH/synergys -c $PATH/synergy.conf)
### Stop any currently running Synergy client
killall ${prog[0]##*/}
### Start the new client
exec "${prog[@]}"
.
