Re: Applescript timer to slow startup?

Hey Everyone,
I'm having the Ldap login window problem. Basically all my users are stored
in LDAP. When the machine boots up and you try to login right away it shakes
it's head at you. If you wait awhile it will let you in.

So to keep my service calls down what i was thinking is i need some way to
make the computer to wait for an amount of time before it shows the login
window. This way it can make it's directory connection before the login
window pops up.

This way the end users are just thinking that the computer is working on
starting up. So when it gets to the login window it will log them in ;)

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

A startup item with a `sleep` seems like what you're asking. Make sure it requires all the other facilities so it's last.
