Re: Applescript timer to slow startup?

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.

Of course after I sent my long, elaborte scheme for modifying an existing item I realized it would be much cleaner to just create a new item that just sleeps! :)

In all fairness our messages crossed paths, otherwise I might not have suggested this at all. I actually liked your method, though it could get easily overwritten in an upgrade.

The upgrade problem could easily be solved by using a cutom startup item in /Library/StartupItems.


I had startup items on the brain as I had just made a simple one to solve a network home issue.
