1.5: Start at Login Problems
Version 1.5.0 changed the way "Start at Login" is handled. Instead of using the legacy Login Items system a new helper app ("KeepingYouAwake Launcher") is used to start the app at login.
Before v1.5.0 KeepingYouAwake was listed under System Preferences, Users & Groups, your username, and Login Items when Start at Login was enabled. Please remove this entry when v1.5.0 or higher is installed.
If the app doesn't launch automatically even if the Start at Login checkbox is checked, please un-check and re-check it. This will register the helper app with the system.
You can verify the status of the Launcher helper app by typing the following command into Terminal.app:
launchctl list | grep KeepingYouAwake
This should print
- 0 info.marcel-dierkes.KeepingYouAwake.Launcher
7619 0 info.marcel-dierkes.KeepingYouAwake.28756
when the app is running (the numbers might vary) or just the first entry if it isn't running. But there should at least be one entry for the Launcher. If this isn't the case, please toggle the checkbox as described in the previous section.
Sadly this change was required because the previous Login Items system is not available for sandboxed applications. This increased complexity quite a bit but was necessary to enable the App Sandbox at all. With this change you can always be sure that KeepingYouAwake doesn't have unrestricted access to your system or the network.
