Hello all,

Is anyone using locomotive for the MAC? I have to set it up as a  
service, startupitem, that would start up at boot time. But I am  
having difficulties. To create a startupitem script I need to be able  
to open locomotive from the command line. Can anyone direct me as to  
how to achieve this? I am near braking point and this mac is gonna  
get it.

I solved this, not that it took much solving. I put locomotive into  
my path using the locomotive gui, help - command line tool.

Laters,
