Glorious!
Of course, it's my my luck that I am using that problematic version of Mac
OS/ARA that slipped through the cracks on this issue...! Hello, Murphy's
Law and legitimate frustration!
Speaking of which, there is one (hopefully final; hopefully not too
stupid) problem that I am having:
I simply want to hide the running router and client software when
finished, but I keep getting an error that the script can't get visisble
of the process "EnterNet Settings" or "IPNetRouter.PPC", even though a
list of all processes shows both "EnterNet Settings" and "IPNetRouter.PPC"
as part of the list. I'm totally baffled here, and again, "AppleScript In
A Nutshell" shows this as how to do it:
tell application "Finder"
set visible of process whose name is "IPNetRouter.PPC" to false
end tell
...but it fails as above (using Mac OS 9.1; PowerMac7600/132)
I'm just about ready to throw this book in the trash, or give it to
someone who has a newer machine that can install 9.2.1...Grr!
Thanks,
-Matt
