I'm using a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid-2014) running OS X El Capitan and I'm curious if I can run a script when I close my computer (without installing anything).

Note: I don't want to install anything.

I looked at that before; it requires that I install something. – atirit Mar 03 '16 at 00:22
No, the ioreg -r -k AppleClamshellState | grep... solution by M K doesn't require any installation. – klanomath Mar 03 '16 at 00:23
Want to make sure: I'll have to run that continuously; will that drain my battery? – atirit Mar 03 '16 at 00:26
Depends on the script/task. You probably want to disable clamshell mode. – klanomath Mar 03 '16 at 00:30
