Hello, I am making a script to work on a network of OSX boxes. The
script is pretty basic, if anything is dropped into a folder, as someone
on my network would do, the name of the folder changes to say: "You have
so and so messages". The thing is that OSX does NOT have folder actions
and I thought of just making a loop that runs until I quit the script.
Well, when I went to ProcessViewer to check the cpu % the script was
taking, it was very big. Actually it was always over 50% and sometimes
60%. I have a G3 266 computer and I am not going to stop all of my
processes just so a very simple script can run. Well, I thought that
maybe if I told the script to check the folder every so and so, say 1
minute, and display the results , it would be much better because I
could still keep my CPU for other things in that minute. So far I have
not found such a thing on AppleScript. If anyone knows of a way to make
a script idle for a certain amount of time, please tell me. I appreciate
your time very much. Thank You.
Tony
