Question about SabNZBd on OSX

Post by jeffwscott »

I have a "usenet setup" at my house all running on a Ubuntu Server.

I'm going to go set my buddy up with same same stuff (sab, sickbeard, plex) except he owns an iMac.

I have no experience with OSX. Since his iMAC is a family computer I'm wondering will my friend have to keep his MAC logged in as himself for all these programs to be started and continue running? Like, if his wife logs into the iMAC will all these programs fail to work?

I'm wondering if there is a way to start everything on boot-up so that the programs are user independent.

Any thoughts/experiences?

SABnzbd works per user on OSX.
I believe there's the possibility to have two accounts logged in at the same moment.
That would be an option.

Maybe it's possible to run non-interactive software as a background process,
but I'm not familiar with that.
