Mac admins often have login workflows that require both (a) root permissions and (b) a user to be logged in (console user). While loginhooks used to serve this purpose, they've since been deprecated. Launch agents, on the other hand, satisfy (b) but not (a). logind attempts to solve the issue by using a launch daemon to check if a user is logged in before running your workflow.
Download or clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/geoffrepoli/logind.git
Replace the contents of loginItems() in run.sh with the command(s) you want to execute at user login.
Once you've added your login tasks to run.sh, use the build.sh script to automatically configure a deployable pkg installer. In Terminal, enter the following:
cd logind && ./build.sh
An installer package logind.pkg will be created in the root of your logind directory, which you can then use to deploy to end users via MDM or other management tool.
If you intend to build the package installer yourself, make sure you've created the correct file paths in your package root. For reference: the default paths are /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.doggles.logind.plist and /usr/local/logind/run.sh.
