Open C Program After Login

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is impossible to achieve or not, but I have a C program that I created that is compiled with an a.out executable. Is there a way that I could have it start/run automatically after I log in? I have a Mac running on Snow Leopard. Again, sorry if this question doesn't make sense or can't be done.

Thanks!

You can make some sort of batch file(or shell script) which launches your program and place that batch file in startup folder.

I never tried it in mac but if you spend some time on googling , you'll get the answers ...
