I want to run a shell script on startup
by google ,I found that I could add shell in rc.common
so I added the code below at the end of rc.common
is it a permission problem?
## rc.common test ##
touch ~/test.txt
reboot，there is no test.txt in my user fold
when I test it in terminal manualy ，it’s ok
ls -l /etc/rc.common
-rw-r--r-- 1 guirong wheel 1737 3 30 22:36 /etc/rc.common
where is the problem? my system verison is 10.7.3
is it not ran by default in os x?
If you want the script to be run only for the current user, you should use ~/.bashrc instead
Later edit: I misread your question. If you want something to run at startup, you should look into launchd here
