Scripting "Startup Disk" revisited


  • Subject: Scripting "Startup Disk" revisited

Back in August of this year (2002) there was a short discussion on scripting
the changing of the startup disk.

The solution posted was two-fold:

In OS 9, restarting in OS X: tell the startup disk application to do stuff
(a "proper" AS)

In OS X, restarting in OS 9: do a shell script with the "bless" command

I am curious if anybody (including the folks originally involved in the
thread) actually got it to work?

On my system, with OS X and OS 9 on the same partition, I wasn't able to
script a restart into 9.

Is it possible to change the startup disk in X to 9 via AS?
