hello all,
I'm a Macintosh Administrator for several student computing labs and we
use application launchers in our envrionment created with applescript (as
opposed to simple aliases), in the form of:
------
try
tell app "finder"
open file "HardDisk:blah:foo:bar"
end tell
end try
-------
We're running MacOS 9.0.4 w/ Applescript 1.4.3
Occasionally (actually, pretty infrequently), I would get reports that the
launchers on a particular machine would stop working and generate an error
of the type:
---
Could not run the script "Adobe Photoshop 5.5" because of a scripting
system (OSA) error. -1757
---
When this would occur, all launchers created with applescript would stop
working until the machine had been restarted. My guess was that something
(another app) was breaking applescript functionality. This morning, I got
a report that an entire student lab was displaying this problem (35+
machines). All the problems have disappeared since the machines were
restarted.
Does anybody have an idea of why this would happen and/or what application
usage could be causing it? I don't think that applescript itself is
breaking applescript, because most of our applescripts are pretty simple.
Any advice, help, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks!
jonathan
