Hi. I have two problems:
1) I have a fairly short script which, when launched, reads a flat text
configuration file, connects to a fileserver, launches an 'Assimilator'
application, then optionally launches another script. The problem I'm
having is that it likes to crash (about 50% of the time), generally with a
type 2 error or sometimes a type 11 (or is it 10?), seemingly when it
attempts to launch something. Any input would be greatly appreciated. The
source code and a flowchart can be found at:
http://www.uwrf.edu/~rr43/applescript/startup.html
2) I also have a rather lengthy script which performs the task of
authenticating a user against an AppleShare IP fileserver. That's the core
task, but it does a number of other little things as well. The problem I
have with this one is that it locks up the workstation (frozen mouse, etc.)
just before it quits (but after the last line of code has executed) about
10-20% of the time. As above, input on a solution would be greatly
appreciated. I've been wrestling with this problem for several months and
have gone through many revisions of the code. The source code and a
flowchart for this can be found at:
http://www.uwrf.edu/~rr43/applescript/logout-3.7.5.html
Both scripts are run in a computer lab environment on PowerMac 4400's, beige
G3s, b&w G3s, and G4s (total of ~90 machines). All workstations are running
MacOS 9.0.4. I suspect a bug in one of the scripting additions I use
(Dialog Director?) or possibly AppleScript itself, since I can't find any
problems in the code. Further details are available upon request. Thanks!
Robert
