Airsquirrels Reflector Load on Login

README.md

Background

I need a way to automatically load Reflector for Mac OSX when a user signs in. This is my solution. Start by opening the console.

Step 1

Open Reflector using sudo. This will setup the global settings. Enter your license key here and your users won't have to enter it.

sudo /Applications/Reflector.app/Contents/MacOS/Reflector

Step 2

Create a Launch Agent that will run when the user signs in. Copy the .plist file below to the folder /Library/LaunchAgents/. This may require root access, so you'll have to approve it. You will want to make the file read/write only by root.

sudo chmod 600 /Library/LaunchAgents/com.airsquirrels.reflector.plist

com.airsquirrels.reflector.plist
