scriptJob within userSetup.mel

Maya
1

... i am very much at a loss

basically im trying to run a scriptJob at startup using the below line

//userSetup.mel contents
scriptJob -protected -ct condition scriptName;

seems simple enough ... my problem is that although
the userSetup is being read on startup (i know this through
other tests) my scriptJob is not being created ...

yet once maya is loaded i can manually configure the scriptJob
and all is fine ...

this would be okay except this scriptJob needs to be shared by many
users and thus needs to run automatically at startup ...

any ideas ?

thanks , clinton.

you need scriptNode - this node execute with startup scene. Read this term in "Mel Command Reference".

depending on what your scriptJob is, you may need to invoke it for two events.. NewScene and SceneOpened.
