Hi all,
When waking from sleep, Internet Exploder and Outlook Express can cause my
Mac to freeze. This is a documented bug listed on Microsoft's site, and it's
terribly annoying as I have to reboot. I believe it has to do with the way
they do TCP/IP stuff. They "block" till packets are confirmed or something.
But that's not the question.
What I want to do is have both of these apps quit when the machine goes to
sleep. And before anyone says there are other browsers, stop. I know there
are and I use them. I like them better, actually. I depend on IE for my
work.
Anyhow, there's no "sleep items" folder in the system folder like the
startup and shutdown folders. I can easily write a script that will quit the
apps and put the machine to sleep. I want something that detects when the
machine is going to sleep and triggers the "quit ie and oe" script before
the machine nods off.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Ideas?
Thanks!!
