Hi,
Has anyone discovered a way to wake the computer yet.
Many. may be non are the one you want. Be more specific here.
After much effort I'm convinced that GUI scripting doesn't work well
if the computer is asleep.
In the following script "System preferences" opens, but the script
fails at the first GUI command.
are you saying that even sleeping the computer opens System
Preferences?
Yes
What do you mean by sleeping?
As in asleep, screen dark, etc.
Is the disk spinning? (is the light blinking in front of the
computer?). This is what i consider sleeping.
I tried running shell scripts with the computer sleeping and I was not
successful. May be I selected the wrong scripts :).
If the screen is dark, may be the only thing that you have is that you
are running ScreenSaver, then I assume you could run your scripts.
I was not familiar with iBeeZz and found it to be what they took away
from OS 9. I found out how to wake a computer remotely using wake on
lan.
All my attempts to wake the computer and run a script have been
fruitless.
By the way, what mechanism triggers your script ?
Elaborate more on what you want to do, please.
I want to run the <was attached> script at a specific time in the
morning often times before I have woke up the computer.
The alternate would be to run the script when I wake the computer up.
Which I understand is also not possible.
