Scripting "Startup Disk"


  • Subject: Scripting "Startup Disk"
  • From: Ted Pearson <email@hidden>

I am trying to write a script that will change the startup system folder to the Mac OS X system folder and then restart the computer. But I get an error when I do this:

tell application "Startup Disk"
set startup system folder alias to alias "Macintosh HD:System:Library:CoreServices:"
end tell

however,

tell application "Startup Disk"
set startup disk to alias "Macintosh HD"
end tell


works.

Is it possible to set the startup system folder alias, or is that attribute r/o?

Thanks,

Ted
