Allow in background scripts


Some of the files in Settings -> General -> Login Items -> Allow in Background are scripts and it makes it hard to discern what they do. What follows is a way (not the fastest) to figure it out what each script is:

  • Disable all the shell scripts you don't know.
  • sfltool dumpbtm > out
  • Enable a scripts
  • sfltool dumpbtm > out2
  • delta out out2
  • repeat
