# go-autostart
[](https://godoc.org/github.com/ProtonMail/go-autostart)
A Go library to run a command after login.
## Usage
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/ProtonMail/go-autostart"
)
func main() {
app := &autostart.App{
Name: "test",
DisplayName: "Just a Test App",
Exec: []string{"bash", "-c", "echo autostart >> ~/autostart.txt"},
}
if app.IsEnabled() {
log.Println("App is already enabled, removing it...")
if err := app.Disable(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
} else {
log.Println("Enabling app...")
if err := app.Enable(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
log.Println("Done!")
}
```
## Behavior
* On Linux and BSD, it creates a `.desktop` file in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart`
(i.e. `$HOME/.config/autostart`). See http://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login
* On macOS, it creates a `launchd` job. See http://blog.gordn.org/2015/03/implementing-run-on-login-for-your-node.html
* On Windows, it creates a link to the program in `%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup`
