Hi.

I am relatively new to MAC OS X (Snow Leopard) and Unix so I need some help.

I need to run my remote control software upon system start-up BEFORE user login. I know how to set a program to run AFTER a user logs in but this doesn't do me any good.

For example: Right now I am using LogMeIn Remote Control Software. When I boot OS X the LogMeIn software is already running in the background at the user login screen BEFORE any user has even logged in. I want to stop using LogMeIn and switch to TeamViewer but the TeamViewer software only runs after I have logged in.

I need it to run at the user login screen BEFORE I have actually logged in so that when I reboot my computer or switch back and forth from Windows XP I can login remotely, just like with LogMeIn. With LogMeIn after a re-boot I the user login & password screen is sitting there waiting for me (or any user) to login.

Is what I want to do even possible?

Thanks!
