Remote AppleEvents not 100% reliable?


  • Subject: Remote AppleEvents not 100% reliable?

I've been struggling with remote AppleEvents for two weeks now and am beginning to suspect that they're just not ready for prime time. The latest snafu is that the first time a script sends messages to a remote application (running on OS 10.3.4) it works, if and only if, the remote application was just launched. If however the app is already running, you run a script from another machine, quit the script, relaunch it and try again, no go.

I also wrote the Application the scripts are sending the messages to (in Cocoa) and put log messages to flag when a message has arrived at an event handler so can say for a fact that on second, third, fourth attempts running the scripts, the messages never even make it to the application.

Has anyone ever used remote AppleEvents in a professional setting on a real corporate network with a mixture of OS versions? (9.x & 10.3.x) If so, what's your secret? I have about eight years of professional AppleScript experience and I can't get these remote events working.

Thanks,

Ken
