Geoff:
If your suggestion were in fact the case, what would be the value in
a Shutdown Items folder? Also, note that my first script works fine in the
Shutdown Items folder. There is apparently something specific to the second
script that causes it to (only occasionally) halt shutdown, hence my
question.
Thanks for your suggestion, though.
