Hi, I have written a small application which is a LaunchAgent and works fine on Leopard 10.5.x with the command launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.myname.myapp.plist. However on Tiger 10.4.11, since i know that launchAgents would not work accordingly i made my app as a loginItem by adding the path for my application in the loginwindow.plist. But the problem i am facing here is as soon as i install, my app would not launch immediately !( As on leopard 10.5.x ) . I have to logout and login again for application to launch, which i want to avoid. Can i in my postflight of the installer manually launch my application ?? what i mean by this is that ... in my postflight i would use "open <path to my application>" . This would no doubt launch my app , but i wanted to know if this is a good way of overcoming the problem?? what are its implications ?? thanks , Arjun
