Windows software open on startup

Hi there,

I am running streaming software that is windows on my Mac using crossover. I was wondering if there is a way that incase of a power failure the Mac would turn back on and reload the software once it has started up. Is this something that can be done with crossover?

Cheers

You could setup the Mac to restart after a Power Failure (System Preferences->Energy Saver) and have either CrossOver or maybe even the actual application itself in the User Login items.

If this works with the application then superb but if you needed to add CrossOver to the Login items, you might still be able to do this with AppleScript (though I never looked how scriptable CrossOver is; maybe do something like Tell Finder open file with application?).

Ken has given some hints re scripting CrossOver here: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=27;msg=169948

Please Note: This Forum is for non-application specific questions relating to installation/configuration of CrossOver. All application-specific posts to this Forum will be moved to their appropriate Compatibility Center Forum.
