Maybe Chris can shed some light on this, since I'm still running into
all
sorts of problems with every variation I've tried on running a
straight-forward script at log-in under Jaguar (the script runs as
both a
compiled script and as an applet immediately after log-in with no
problems if
triggered manually). I've tried all of Camilla's suggestions (posted
on 30
Sept 02), with no sucess, such as run script alias "path to script",
and
ignoring application responses. I've searched through both the online
and
web-based help systems to no avail. I'm beginning to think that either
the
permissions are set incorrectly to run at log-in.
The errors generated are either (one of the two has generated for each
solution when run at start-up:
Could not run the script "run SP5 aplet" because of a program error.
-1344
[Edit, OK]
Could not run the script "run SP5 aplet" because of a program error.
-1280
[Edit, OK]
Any suggestions, Chris (or anyone else in the know, but I definitely
want to
hear Chris's feedback on this)...
This worked for me under 10.2.1. It's a stay open applet in login
items that triggers another applet after a set interval:
property calledScript : choose file
property firstTime : true
on idle
if firstTime then
set firstTime to false
return 60
end if
ignoring application responses
run script calledScript
end ignoring
set firstTime to true
tell me to quit
end idle
I ran into similar problems trying to get applets to do certain things
from Startup Items under OS 9. This delayed start mechanism appears to
get them out from under the startup procedure conditions that cause the
problem.
