I'm trying to get the filepath, but as other's have noted, coercing to a
string doesn't work.
tell application "System Events" of machine "eppc://192.168.1.103"
using terms from application "System Events"
application file of first application process as string
--> "Beautyloginwindow.app"
end using terms from
end tell
I agree that retrieving an alias of a remote machine is nonsensical, but
how can I get the path and why isn't the coercion happening correctly?
