I recently wrote a folder action script for a client to monitor the
files moving in and out of a folder that is the input folder for a plot
server application. Files are added to the folder and the plot server
removes them and processes them. The script logs the addition of files
to a text file and checks off those entries when the files are removed.
My client reports that at random intervals the special icon for a folder
with a folder action disappears and the script stops working. When
checked, it is no longer attached to the folder and cannot be
reattached. I'm assuming that the script has been damaged, as a fresh
copy of the script will attach to the folder.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Does anyone know why it happens?
Most importantly, does anyone know a way to avoid it?
