SynergyUser64 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Hi, I sure I'm not the first person to ask about this I have a Mac running sierra setup as a synergy client but so far I can not get keyboard & mouse control on the login screen. Can you please provide a launch daemon or applicable procedure to address this issue. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Unfortunately, you can only set Synergy to run after logging in. Although the feature of having it working before logging in (using the server's keyboard to log-in) is on our v2 roadmap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynergyUser64 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Sorry to hear that This news means synergy is basically useless as an OSX client what the startup command line? maybe I can write my own launch daemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 In all versions of OSX, you can have the user login automatically, and set Synergy as a Login Item, which will have it start up upon user login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrew Nelless Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 @Donald Crockett Unfortunately it's not just a matter of running the correct command. We've had Synergy running on the OS X login window as a Pre-Login Agent, and further changes are required to the core to allow Synergy to take control of the keyboard and mouse in this context. Work in this area is ongoing. We hope to deliver Synergy running as a service on all platforms over the next few betas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
