No confusion here and no madness, either. I know that the kbase article
doesn't mention Keychain Access. However, the script I wrote wouldn't work
in Tiger without first launching Keychain Access, even though there wasn't
any problem in Panther. After launching it, I started getting the
"application isn't running" error and filed the appropriate bug report.
Engineering said to explicitly launch Keychain Scripting. I added it to the
script, but after launching Keychain Access. The error remained until I
switched the order. The kbase article is the result and is applicable to
all Keychain Scripting. My note points out that if you launch Keychain
Access in your script, do it after launchiing Keychain Scripting or the
error will return.
