What's the best way have redshift run on startup (or login) on OS X?

  Replying to myself, for future searchers: First, the latest patched version can be found at https://github.com/geofft/redshift https://github.com/geofft/redshift You may need autoconf, automake, and gettext. I used homebrew. I also had to run ln -s /usr/local/opt/gettext/bin/autopoint /usr/local/bin to get the autopoint build-time dependency. To get redshift to run at login, we'll use launchd. Save the following as ~/Library/LaunchAgents/redshift.plist (modify as needed if your binary and config files are elsewhere). <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>redshift</string> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true /> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/local/bin/redshift</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>-c ~/.config/redshift.conf</string> </array> </dict> </plist> then run launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/redshift.plist You can use launchctl list | grep redshift to see that it's working.
