Start Once

Introducing StartOnce version 1.2 . (Shareware 10$US or 5 pounds UK.) StartOnce helps you to control your Startup Items. When you start your Mac for the first time on any day, StartOnce will launch any items found in the "StartOnce Items" folder. On subsequent restarts, these items will be skipped. Installation is easy as StartOnce will create the "StartOnce Items" folder for you the first time it is run. All you have to do is to decide which items you want launched once a day and place aliases to them in this folder. Put an alias to StartOnce in your "Startup Items" folder and you are ready to rock-and-roll. Use it whenever you want to do something only once a day. I use StartOnce on my Mac, in combination with Roland Gustafsson's free (ThankYouWare) 'SimpleBackup' utility to make a copy of my most important files at the start of work each day. If I should happen to corrupt one of these files, I know that I can always revert to the backup copy.
