I have a pair of one line scripts:

do shell script "pmset -a dim 1" password "xxxxxx" with administrator privileges
and
do shell script "pmset -a dim 60" password "xxxxxx" with administrator privileges


I use these to set the Energy Saver pref pane to dim the screen in 1 and 60 minutes, respectively.

Each time I invoke these now, I receive a dialog:"System Event requires that you type your password."

The only change I've made recently was to upgrade my XCode dev tools to 2.4. That's it.

Was there something in 2.4 that changed the rules?

Curiously, when I run the scrip from within Script Editor, it works and I get no password dialog.

Exactly how are you running your script when you see the dialog?

From my Scripts menu in the MenuBar.

The problem disappeared when I removed the Intego VirusBarrior X4 demo I had installed. It could be a coincidence but I believe more in cause-and-effect than coincidence. ;-)
