I wrote a script for Safari to open several URLs in tabs. I have a delay
command to give it time to load each URL before it moves on to the next one.
When I run this app directly, it works just fine. However, when I have cron
run it in the wee hours before I wake up, it nearly always neglects to
create the new tabs; it "stacks" the URLs, as if I had just entered each URL
sequentially in the same window. This problem cropped up when I installed
the first Tiger release, and persists today.
I thought maybe the problem had to do with the screen saver, so I added
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
at the top and
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to activate
at the end. It does turn off and on the screen saver, but I still get the
stacked URLs when cron runs it.
Can anyone here tell me why it skips the tab creation when cron runs it? And
how to get around that problem?
