Timeshot

You can just run Timeshot in two ways:

1. Execute timeshot.sh directly and leave your terminal window open in the foreground
2. Load the timeshot.plist file to ensure it always runs in the background
3. Change the WorkingDirectory to where your timeshot.sh is
4. Copy timeshot.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/timeshot.plist
5. Execute launchctl load -w timeshot.plist
6. Confirm its running with launchctl list | grep timeshot
