Hi all, I have an lpmud (a text based adventure game) that I want to start up when my iMac starts up. (800mghz flat panel osx 10.2.6)



Can anyone give me some step by step instructions?

    In System Prefs, there should be a Login Items icon. I'm not sure where right now, I'm on a PC sigh... at my library right now. From there you can choose what you want to start when you turn on your computer.

    Ok I believe if I put an applescript into /Library/StartupItems that it will do what I am looking for, but how do you execute a unix command from an applescript?
