##Introduction to Outset

Outset automatically processes packages, profiles, and scripts during the boot sequence, user logins, or on demand.

###Requirements

• python 2.7+
• It's only been tested on 10.9.x and above

###Overview Outset is triggered by launchd so there is no interactive mode in production. For testing purposes, one may manually invoke the command(s), and progress will write to stdout:

sudo /usr/local/outset/outset --boot
/usr/local/outset/outset --login

####Logging Outset logs to standard out and to two different log files, depending on the user context in which the item is being processed (root or user):

/var/log/outset.log
~/Library/Logs/outset.log

####Login-Once login-privileged-once and login-once items are added to preference files, depending on the user context in which the item is being processed (root or user). This ensures that scripts won't be run again on subsequent logins:

/usr/local/outset/share/com.github.outset.once.$UID.plist (where $UID is the UID of the console user)
~/Library/Preferences/com.github.outset.once.plist
