You can lock the file or change the write permissions on the file. If
the file is locked and/or not writable to a user then the comments
can't be changed.
You would lock the file by doing:
----
tell application "Finder"
set theComment to "here's a comment"
set comment of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to theComment
set locked of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to true
end tell
----
You can change the file to read-only permissions with:
----
tell application "Finder"
set theComment to "here's a comment"
set comment of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to theComment
set owner privileges of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to read only
set group privileges of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to read only
set everyones privileges of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to read
only
end tell
