Hi...
I am a new subscriber & am, for the most part, a beginner with
AppleScript. I thought this would be a good list to learn more. :)
Do any of you know if there are any scripts that are currently written
to accomplish the following (see below)...somewhere?
I am attempting to write my own, but like I said, I am still learning.
:)
<<I would like an AppleScript that would shutdown a computer (this if
for a G3 running 9.2, by the way ) at a designated time (i.e. 11:30 PM)
w/o any prompts. In other words, if the computer is on & my daughter is
using it (she is not supposed to be on after 11 on schoolnights...we
found that she is staying on til 1:30AM on occasion!!!), & 11:30 PM is
on the clock, the computer will shut down w/o any warning....no matter
who she is in a conversation with on AIM... :)
Right now, I have it set to shut down at that time, but when the
warning dialog box comes up, & she is on the computer, of course she
clicks "cancel".
I also have a login & password set up so that only my hubby or & can
log in & actually access the computer at all...so even if she turns it
back on, she can't get back online unless she wakes us up..) (I know,
I know...it sounds devious...but there are things parents just have to
do...)>>
Thanks so much for your help. :)
Laura
