Hi all.
I know that this is ancient, and we are on the move toward OS X,
but I need some quick help with OS 9. I'm coming in early Wednesday
to check every OS 9 Mac TCP/IP configurations (about 40 - 50 macs).
I am hoping to write a quick script that I can just run and have it
set specific settings, or beep until I come over and fix them. Here
are the problems I have had so far and what I am hoping to eventually
accomplish. Please forgive the vagueness, the OS 9 machine I was
testing on just crashed and isn't coming up. So I can't tell you the
exact error codes yet, only that they did error.
Network Setup Scripting does not allow me to open the database. When
I run the following script it comes back with an error saying that
the database is not accessible.
tell application "Network Setup Scripting"
activate
open database
close database
end tell
Trying to script the application TCP/IP hasn't worked to well
either ...
tell application "TCP/IP"
activate
set blah to router address
end tell
Comes back with a code syntax error. It looks like router address is
being treated as two separate words rather than one command.
So this is what I want to have happen, and any help I would appreciate.
Launch TCP/IP or equivalent
If DHCP then ... beep until the calvary comes.
else if Manual IP then
try
set Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0
set Router Address to 10.1.0.1
set Name Servers to 10.1.1.5, 10.1.1.6
set host file to /system folder/preferences/host
on error
beep 4, delay 3, repeat
end try
I know, short notice and I have no clue on how to do this. I do
understand applescript very well, but I have really only used it for
OS X, not for 9 exclusively. So can someone pass something that will
help? I've tried to find some documentation or sample scripts, but
everything I find seems to have already been taken down or moved
without telling where it was moved to.
Thank you so much!
Chris
