Problems opening applications



Hello, 

I've got a very strange, very intermittent, and very annoying problem 
with Apple Remote Desktop.

I've got a lab of 24 G4's, and I'm installing ARD (along with Panther) 
on all of them. ARD works fine in terms of screen sharing, copying 
files, restarting machines, etc, but I have trouble opening 
applications.
   
   * Sometimes, some applications will not open. ARD gives the
message, "xxx.app couldn't be opened on yyy because an error
occurred." In the ARD Computer Status window, I get the message, 
"Error: Command failed."

   * Sometimes, some applications will open and other times they
won't. Same application, same day, an hour apart.

   * Usually, it works better to open an application from the "Open 
Application" menu item rather than from the "Open Item" one. Sometimes 
both work, sometimes one works, sometimes both fail.

   * If I do a Copy Item, and select "Copy and Open", it seems to work 
every time.

Any ideas on what's going on here? The ARD manual is silent on this 
issue. I think it's a permissions issue, but I'm not sure about that. 

My setup: system 10.3.4, with ARD client 1.2.4, ARD main program 1.2.
          G4's, 933 MHz, with 512 MB of Ram.

Thanks in advance for your help.

                             Sincerely yours,

                             Greg Dresden.
