Run a simple shell (.sh) script as a Login Item

You could try to add your script in System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items. Or run the the script with launchd as a $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents.

I can't believe I didn't specify. Sorry. I did try the System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items. That is actually where I got the part of my message that said it just opened TextEdit. In login items synergy.sh is shown as a "Plain Text".

Change the suffix from .sh to .command

This should cause the script to launch the terminal and then run the script. The .command suffix will also make the script double-clickable.

However, as a side effect, it will launch the terminal, which may not be something you want.

You can use an Applications -> Automator workflow using the "Run Shell Script" automator action to run your script WITHOUT starting the terminal. Save the Automator workflow as an applications, and drag this to the Login Items.

You can also download the free Platypus and turn any script into a double clickable application which can be placed in the Login Items.

NOTE: The "#" sign in the original post quoted text go changed to a "1.". It should read "# Start synergy and connect to basd-wd-19870"
