node_modules/user-startup/lib/startup/darwin.js
line 44:
cp.execSync('launchctl load ' + name);

must be
cp.execSync('launchctl load ' + file);

you load the service plist file, then you can start the service by name

Win64 crash...
you must copy win32.js to win64.js or just load the same file for both platforms

BTW, huuuuuge thanks for this module! 👍

It appears at least on MS Defender and Symantec End Point security, the VBScript is ignored in the Startup folder.

There is a way to add a user-specific registry entry that doesn't require Admin to add a Windows startup process. This works with these AV programs running. To do this, I used the npm module winreg. If you'd be interested in a way to register a platform specific override for the platform strategy, and a new strategy, I can put together a pull request.

It may require an alternative 'export' style.

Thoughts?

I'm using this module to startup an script, but I found an error related to file permission.

I suggest add exec file permission to solve this problem, as I requested in #9

This error occured when trying to install and run hotel for the first time. Didn't post in hotel because it seems like a user-startup module error:
