Am wondering if I can write an applescript which will check the
status of fetch say, every 30 minutes and reconnect it automatically
in case of disconnection. Pls help me out with this.
Based on 'Fetch" v. 5.0.2 and 5.0.5, consider the following.
Via the 'Fetch, Preferences' menu item's 'General' tab - see if 'FTP
compatibility:'s 'Keep connections alive' check box is check marked.
---
Via 'AppleScript' you can set 'keep connections alive' to 'true' or
'false' (as per the 'Fetch'es dictionary's entry '- keep connections
alive boolean -- send the server a command every minute to keep the
connection active'), as in ...
tell application "Fetch" to set keep connections alive to true -- Set
keep connections to 'true'.
... or ...
tell application "Fetch" to set keep connections alive to false --
Set keep connections to 'false'.
-- Below is an 'AppleScript' example of maintaining a 'Fetch' FTP
connection ...
property log_Name : "name"
property tPassword : "password"
property tURL : "FTP_URL"
on run {}
my handle_Connection() -- Establishes a FTP URL connection.
my handle_processing() -- Processes desired FTP actions.
end run
on idle {}
my handle_Connection() -- Establishes / maintains a FTP URL connection.
return (30 * 60) -- Repeats every (30 * 60) seconds.
end idle
on handle_Connection() -- Establishes a FTP URL connection.
tell application "Fetch" to open url ("ftp://"; & log_Name & ":" &
tPassword & "@" & tURL)
end handle_Connection
on handle_processing() -- Processes desired FTP actions.
tell application "Fetch"
-- Place your code here --
end tell
end handle_processing
... Make sure to save the code as an 'Application' [AppleScript
applet] (select 'Application' from the 'File Format:' pop up button),
and place an check mark in the 'Options:'s 'Stay Open' check box -
via 'Script Editor's 'Save' / 'Save As...' dialog box.
