Question: Is there a known memory leak with folder action scripts
under Mac OS 9.2.2?
It's been quite a while since I've used OS 9 but I seem to recall
others who ran into this problem.
I rarely look at it - legacy boxes though.
One of the hacks to overcome it was to temporarily change the folder
action extension into an application (using ResEdit or a similar
utility), assign more RAM to it, and then change it back into an
extension.
I rewrote the script so that it's a stay open AppleScript app which
checks the upload folder every 60 seconds. I'll see what this delivers.
