Application startup queue
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a place in MacOS where a queue of startup application is stored.
What I mean by that: if there's a configfile or sth where I could check or modify startup applications order.
Thanks 👍🏻

There really is no script. When macOS starts up, it first searches
the /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons and
acts on what ever .plist files are located there. Then, when a user
logs in, there are an identical set of directories ~/Library/LaunchAgents
and ~/Library/LaunchDaemons and macOS acts on them accordingly.
Some of those files are tagged to launch tasks immediately, launch them
periodically, or launch them on demand.

Go to System Preferences >> Users & Groups and select your User Name >> Along top of pop-up windows look for Login Items. Remove items not wanted to load at Startup. Note, before making any changes, you must UnLock with the computer password. The Padlock will unlock allowing the changes. Once finished - reLock that padlock.
That's not really what I wanted.
I know about this solution but it does not show all software that's opened at startup.
I got plenty of apps that originate from HomeBrew and I know that there are some LaunchDaemons created, but question is:
Where I can find the place/configuration file/list/script that launches them when my User logs in?
As I went back and forth of root folder and could not locate such thing.
Thx a lot!
That was the info I was looking for 🙏🏻
