Start WeatherCat at boot up -- Not user login
« on: May 07, 2013, 01:34:44 PM »
Does anyone know how to make WeatherCat start when my mac boots up?  Right now its set to start at login, fine but I'm not always there to login or remember to log in.  It would be nice to have it just start up when the machine reboots without having to login.

Thanks

Rich

Not that I'm aware of - all of the data/preferences is stored in the user's home directory, so there has to be a user.

Cheers,
Stu.

Not sure if this helps, but OSX supports multiple users. You can create a specific user for WeatherCat, and leave that logged in at all times.
