I thought there was a way to
run a script on my OSX box that would allow me to use EIMS scripting
features to control EIMS running on a OS9 box on my lan. I figured that
it would be easy. I have tried by mounting the OS9 volume on my OSX
desktop via appletalk and choosing the EIMS application in my scripts on
OSX. What happens if EIMS on the OS9 box is running is that the script
says "EIMS server got an error application isn't running." If I turn off
EIMS on the OS9 box it appears that my OSX box tries to run it in classic
and the script does interact with it. All very strange to me since I have
never tried this before. Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Not very clear. Have you got EIMS installed on your machine too? I
can see that might complicate things. However, you should be able to
send events to EIMS on another machine by specifying the full path
name.
tell app "vol:folder:EIMS SERVER" ....
I have no problem sending events from OS X to EIMS running in classic
on my machine and can collect and send mail with no problem. I don't
understand what you mean by "turning off" EIMS on the whatnot box.
When EIMS does run, what is the pathname of the process? Ask the
finder to get the file of process "EIMS Server" and you will see
where it come from.
