Hi guys
I have started to write a simple little app to display all of my current login items.
I'm stumped as to how to direct the information to a dialog window. I can get the info when running the app in Script Editor, but obviously need to direct the output to a user-readable dialog box or window during runtime. I'm obviously new to AppleScript - my apologizes.
Here is the "meat" of my script:
tell application "System Events"
-- LOGIN ITEMS
get the properties of every login item
-- Example: {{class:login item, path:"/Users/sal/Desktop/View Remote Screen.app", hidden:false, kind:"Application", name:"View Remote Screen"}}
end tell
Also - based on the code above, will this script show me login items "pushed" through MCX policies as well as the local, user-assigned login items?
The point of my app is to be able to reveal all login items, regardless of origin. The app is going to accomplished 2 things:
1. Show me my login items. This is the code you see above (well, part of it anyway!)
2. Allow me to re-run my login items for the purpose of mounting network volumes that normally mount at startup (i.e.; for laptop users who use a VPN to connect to my LAN and want to mount their MCX-pushed network shares)
Thanks in advance!
