Problem running Common Lisp image from AppleScript


  • Subject: Problem running Common Lisp image from AppleScript
  • From: Bruce McLaren <email@hidden>

We are having intermittent problems invoking a Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) executable from AppleScript.

Our Applescript tries to invoke an MCL lisp image using the explicit name of the image, but the script sometimes starts a random program other than the lisp image. What is weird is that the script *usually* starts the lisp image, as expected, but occasionally, say every 5th or 6th time, does not.

The Applescript that seems to be acting a little flakey is invoked from a Java program. When we run the script by double-clicking it, we haven't observed the problem (although the problem may exist in that use, too, we just haven't seen it in limited testing.)

If you have any information about this problem, please respond to the list and cc "email@hidden."

Thanks much!
