At the moment there is nothing greater than Catalina, but I will be interested in doing this again when there is a greater version.


I am aware of the GUI means of enabling automatic login. I am not interested in how to accomplish that, hence why I asked "without the GUI." Previously I was able to run a command to enable it from Terminal and it does not seem to work the same way anymore.
