It works but not until someone authenticates at the loginwindow. I actually was trying to do that exact thing on a scheduled basis … say 3am; however, I wasn’t able to get it to autologin into an account at that point to cause iHook to fire off. - If the machine is on at 3am, touch a file, move autologin files into place, reboot. ** If a machine is off, power it on (pmset). - Autologin to a local maintenance account to force iHook to run. - iHook executes (touched file is cleared), system updates, machine shuts down. The problem lies in the ** step. If the machine is off, I wasn’t able to get it to move the autlogin files into place and then do another reboot. Pmset seems limited to one time.

I tried implementing a combination of using pmset to power up and then run a radmind session; however, iHook won’t execute until someone authenticates. Is that how it has functioned previously? I am trying to avoid having to force an end user to wait through an update session if it can be avoided; hence; the reason we ran at logout for all of these years. I am also not totally opposed to there being no GUI at logout; however, if a machine fails an update, it sits at the grey screen until someone strikes the enter key or iHook gives up. Is there a way to tell iHook to continue instead of popping open the drawer at failure? This would not be horrible, as I can tell from the radmind server when a machine fails to complete an update.

It is covered by a grey screen/"curtain". You can still interact with it, if it fails, by hitting the return key, so you know it is still running. Also, if you just wait, it completes, but the system can sit at the grey screen for awhile, particularly if you are trying to deliver a piece of software at logout. I have not been able to get it to work, and I have not been able to disable or modify this grey curtain screen at logout.
