macOS ...I need help. Need to create a script.

[Hoosier317]

I have very little idea what I am doing. I installed PlexDrive and it is working perfectly. Getting in running took some handholding however and what I want to do next is beyond my knowledge base. Running PlexDrive simply requires me to run a single command in a terminal window:

./plexdrive_test5 -v 2 ./mountpoint

I would like for my computer to do that automatically on reboot. If I experience a reboot due to a power outage during a storm or simply due to installing a macOS update, I'd like PlexDrive to start automatically for me.

I have no idea how to accomplish this. Can anyone help? Thank you!!

Hi there,

There are a few different ways to do have something execute on start-up. Personally, I'd probably be looking at a launch daemon.

There's a discussion of the different options here:

Hope that's of some help!
