Hi folks!
I have a script that creates events on remote machine's iCals.
that works fine if only (as known) iCal on the remote host is
already running.
I have no problem starting iCal remotely, but is there a way to
avoid coming
to frontmost while starting? Something like "without
frontmost" (which in fact
compiles and runs, but doesn't work...
I hope, this question could be answered without script snippets
for my worked
out thing is too complex to cut down to the necessary for testing
here in the
list.
btw: I start the app by "open item" as the only way to start I
could figure
out -- is there a maybe a better way?
If you 'open' an app then it will come frontmost, just like if you
'activate' it.
However, if you 'tell application "iCal" to launch', it should
launch in the
background, behind any other active applications.
Yeah, I tried "launch" but this won't RUN the app, if it wasn't
before, this only works with local apps, I guess, but they would be
started in any case, when spoken to locally.
maybe there is another hint? I found articles covering stuff like the
constant "hidden"; could this be something worth of?
Although I didn't find any glue how the syntax works, or better: if
it works together with running or opening apps...
