Hi,

I am having problems launching a script on a remote machine. I even tried
a very simple script. On the remote machine I have a script called
beep.scpt.

on run(x)
beep x
end run


>From another machine I will run this: set remoteMachine to "eppc://username:email@hidden.0.4"

tell application "Finder" of machine remoteMachine
set k to item "BootX:beep.scpt"
run script alias k with parameters {3}
end tell

And this is what I get:
Finder got an error: alias (document file "beep.scpt" of startup disk)
doesn't understand the run script message.


I get a similar behavior here, with OS X 10.4.9 on both local and remote machines.
IIRC, this used to work in the past.
(does someone have the opportunity to try on earlier OS versions, perhaps Panther?).


The problem seems to be directly related to the "run script" command used remotely:

   tell application "Finder" of machine remoteMachine
       beep 3
          --> three beeps on the remote machine
       run script "beep 3"
          --> Finder got an error: \"beep 3\"
              doesn't understand the run script message.
   end tell

As if the "run script" command were disabled in case of remote invocation.
It may be the result of security-based measures (or a side-effect of such measures), but I couldn't find any reference about this.


Axel
