How To find Login event in MacOS

Question

I am trying to get notifications during user login and logout events programmatically. As of now I could figure out the logout events by using NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification but not able to figure out the way to receive the login events.

Please let me know the way to get the Login event programmatically.

I did spend some time to look into it, like you said i was unable to find anything that suggest that it "powered on". However there were some behaviours such as NSWorkspaceDidWakeNotification and NSWorkspaceScreensDidWakeNotification to identify screen waking up and screen power. Take alook at the documentation of Apple below Make your way down to the "notifications" section
