Notes on how to setup a mac for museum installations

What didn't work reliably

1. executing a login script on launchctl to start an application (eg. Processing)
2. shutting down automatically and closing all apps including the terminal

What worked better

1. using a shell script run as a login item
2. setting pmset to poweron and shutdown
3. make the necessary settings in Systems Settings and the application settings of apps used (eg. terminal, Google Chrome, etc.)

/**
 * SerialIndex, send int example A
 * In this example variable var1 is added to SerialIndex and
 * is monitored for changes over time. the value of var1 is 
 * continuously increasing and you will see the current state
 * inside the Serial Monitor when active.
 * To make changes to var1, use the Serial Monitor's send option 
 * and type (make sure the line ending is set to 'Both NL & CR'): 
 * var1=0
 * this will reset the value of var1 to 0.
