Here's a strange one

Thanks to months of refinement and ocassional help from this group, I have 60 Mac
G4 towers, running stock OS 9.0.4. With Akua Sweets and iDo Script Scheduler.

Beginning at midnight, two minutes apart, they each begin executing a string of
applets.

At the end of applet "Main" is the line"

run script alias "Macintosh HD:System Folder:Tasks:Main 2"

Occasionally, unpredictably, and on different machines, that line becomes:

run script alias "Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Premiere. 6.0
:Help:images:spherize.gif"

or some other seemingly random file.

Part of what "Main" does, is occasionally, when Main 2 is updated, replace Main 2
with a newer version.
Since "With replacing" has never worked, I delete the old Main2 first, then copy
the new one. But that doesn't seem to cause this problem.

Head-Scratchingly Yours,

--Dan
