I am writing a very simple script that reads the modification date of
a folder on a network share. The folder is on a Windows server and is
mounted on each of the Mac computers as xshare$. My script is also
located on xshare$.
Here is my script snippet:
set theFolderPath to "xshare$:xxxxxxx:xxxxxxx:"
tell application "Finder"
set theFolder to folder theFolderPath
set folderDate to modification date of theFolder
end tell
The script is then supposed to give the user a dialog box with the
modification date. When I try running this script on a new machine
(putting an alias to the folder containing the script on that
machine's script menu), the script fails to run the first time (i.e.,
nothing happens). *However*, the second time, and all subsequent
times, the script runs successfully. This pattern will repeat if I
restart the computer.
Does anyone have any ideas why this script wouldn't run the first time?
