Could someone confirm for me that you cannot timeout on a
tell application xxx of machine eppc://yyyy
call?
My scripts just sit and spin forever. I've tried nesting in "try/on error",
"with timeout of", and "ignoring application repsonses" but none, or any
combination of them seem to help.
Has anyone figured a work around for this problem?
The scripts I am running are two applets on two different machines that talk
back and forth to each other (send each other commands). I guess it might be
possible that this is specific to applets, so I thought I would mention
that.
The scripts work absolutely fine when both computers can see each other. But
when one computer is off, I would like the other to timeout, not sit in an
infinite loop.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
