In a logout script, I was calling osascript to run multiple compiled
applescripts. Under the current test machine, problems were
encountered that the tasks appeared to be failing, but was unable to
see why since the scripts run just fine via script editor or when
invoked by osascript. OS is 10.4.4. Even put tons of logger steps in
so I could see what was failing or at least when it was failing.
Question: When running a script via osascript command, is there a
timeout value or similar that will simply end the process regardless
of where it is in the steps? This is the only explanation I can come
up with.
In the logout script, if I call the script via osascript, there are a
few of the log entries in the syslog, but they stop part way through
the script's execution, at points that should not fail or otherwise
cause the script to stop.
If I save the compiled script as an application and call that,
instead, from the login script, then everything works as expected.
This leads me to believe that osascript is told what to do, but the
calling script is not waiting for osascript to finish. Since this is
a logout script, the logout script "finishes" and the OS shuts down
all running processes - this is killing the scripts I call from
osascript part way through completion.
Any of this make sense? Any solutions?
