I was wondering if someone could help me out with this problem.
Is it possible to use folder actions to run an automator script BEFORE a user logs in. Right now I have it set up where when a certain file is inserted into a certain folder, folder actions activates a script I made with automator and sends an email out with Mail app.
However this only works when I am logged in. It also works when I am in the fast user switching window (which means I am still logged in technically). Is their any way I can have this work, for instance, when I start my computer, but have no yet logged in? I other words could the computer just use folder actions to check that certain folder and then run the script and send out the email before I even log into OS X.
