Hello rob,
A log in hook will not work as the users directory is not mounted yet
when the login hook is executed :( I have explored this option fully.
BTW with Workgroup Manager you can make a login in item assigned by a
group so the end user has not control over it.
Thanx

Don't do it this way unless your AppleScript is doing other things.
Look at this and see if it will do what you are looking for...

While your way may work, I could see users removing it from the login
items. Also, why not just keep it 100% transparent to them.

Hello everyone,
I am new to Applescript and Shell scripting but am doing my best to
learn quickly. I am currently reading Sams Teach Yourself Apple
Script in 24 hours. It is a great book so far but I am running out
of time and am only on lesson 10. I have also been digging around on
the web for scripts hoping I could find one similar to what I am
trying to accomplish.
What I am looking for is very simple it seems?

An Apple Script that could be set as a" login item" to be run when a
user logs in...
This script would then run the following shell script from somewhere
on the system
http://www.macosxlabs.org/documentation/hard_disk_maintenance/
byhost_renamer_shell/updateByHostPrefs2.sh
Then quit itself...

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I think this will
fix some problems we are having in our new Workgroup Manager (OSX)
computer lab. We have just upgraded all our labs from MacManager
(OS9) and are trying to get everything working as it did on the older
systems. So far it has taken a lot of learning :)
Thank you for your time
MA
