Running Mopidy automatically on login
=====================================
On OS X, you can use launchd to start Mopidy automatically at login.
If you installed Mopidy from Homebrew, simply run ``brew info mopidy`` and
follow the instructions in the "Caveats" section::
$ brew info mopidy
...
==> Caveats
To have launchd start mopidy at login:
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mopidy/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Then to load mopidy now:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mopidy.mopidy.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
mopidy
If you happen to be on OS X, but didn't install Mopidy with Homebrew, you can
get the same effect by adding the file
:file:`~/Library/LaunchAgents/mopidy.plist` with the following contents::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>mopidy</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/bin/mopidy</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
You might need to adjust the path to the ``mopidy`` executable,
``/usr/local/bin/mopidy``, to match your system.
Then, to start Mopidy with launchd right away::
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/mopidy.plist
