Got a question to follow up on this. It seems that this command only works
for setting the startup disk to Mac OS 9 versions. I can't seem to get this
syntax to work for setting the startup disk to OS X. Here's my syntax:
tell application "Startup Disk"
activate
set startup system folder alias to alias "OS
X:System:Library:CoreServices:"
quit
end tell
The error returned is "Can't set startup disk alias to alias "OS
X:System:Library:CoreServices:". Note: the same failure occurs with just
"OS X:System:" as the path.
Watch the line break...
