This solution works great for me.
All the help from those on the list is much appreciated.
Several of you asked "why in the heck would you want to even do that" and
I am not sure I have a good answer yet. I am noodeling over a problem with
iTunes and Fast User Switching, and I have a way to send a single command
to iTunes in another user space at this point, but it is complex. I was
hoping that if I could find a way to change the command by making it a
variable I could control in different ways, that might move me along to a
better solution.
I am always amazed at how helpful this group is, and the talent here is
a fantastic resource for a novice scriptor like myself.
Thanks again,
DAC
