The following script uses XML-RPC to identify a missing osax in a
script. It requires OS X 10.1, but can easily be modified to use Mark
Alldritt's XML-RPC library. The example below assumes that the Satimage
osax for OS X is not installed. More information about the osaxen.com
XML-RPC interface can be found at <
http://www.osaxen.com/xmlrpc.php>.
