Why doesn't this script work?


  • Subject: Why doesn't this script work?
  • From: Michelle Steiner <email@hidden>

It doesn't return any errors, but it doesn't do anything either.  I suspect that it is a permissions issue, but I have no idea of how to address it.

tell application "System Events"
tell property list file "Dora:System:Library:LaunchDaemons:com.apple.backupd-auto.plist"
set value of property list item 4 of it to 7200
end tell
end tell

The script is supposed to change the backup interval of Time Machine to two hours.  If I can get this to work, I'll change the script so the script's path won't be hard coded and the user can enter the interval herself.
