Hey, telling AppleScript what to do is useful for something! I've never scripted networked computers, but this works for me:

tell machine "eppc://localhost" to tell AppleScript
do shell script "echo hello"
end tell



But doesn't, as it turns out, mean anything. I tried localhost, but it seems you can tell "127.0.01" or "10.0.0.1" or "Britney" or "" or nothing at all and the above will work, but only in the sense that it's calling a command on one's own machine.

Noticed this after getting a message from a suspicious Christopher Nebel.

If only that syntax worked... it would seem to be exactly what I want. Maybe Christopher Nebel can comment on a way to accomplish this?
For now I guess I'll have to hack something else together.
