macOS Running a script when faster switching between users...

[bkwendt]

I am new to Mac and am looking for a way to run a one line script when fast user switching between accounts.

In short I need to suspend my Parallels virtual machine so it will properly share between users. This is the purpose of this script.

I tried to use a logout hook but it didn't work because I assume fast user switching is not considered a logout.

Any suggestions would be great, I assume this will be easy... I just don't see how to do it.

Thanks!

Look at last post of first link. scutil also looks promising. Or perhaps Power Manager.
Good luck.

Note : Not at home at the moment so nothing tested.

Thanks for the reply, looks like a couple options here.

I will give it a go.
