Hi,
I have a really basic problem that I am sure someone can explain to
me...
I have a very simple applescript
say "hello world"
say "this is the second command"
That's it!
The problem is as follows. When I run that applescript from the
command
line, it works and you hear the two messages. I have a perl script
that
calls the applescript and if I run that from the command line, it
works.
However, when I execute the perlscript via a web interface, the
applescript
executes, but only says the first line - the second command is
ignored.
Obviously, the applescript I eventually want to run is more complex
than the
example given here, but I don't understand why only one line
executes. If it
was a permissions issue, I would assume for an all or nothing
response -
this seems very strange behaviour!
Hello Matthew,
If I understood you correctly, you are running the Perl script in a
web server, say as a CGI?
If yes, the script in fact is running as user www, outside of any
Window Server session. Should this be the source of your problem, some
info might be written in Apache's error_log; could you have a look at
it while invoking the script?
Anyway, as suggested by Philip, /usr/bin/say could be the way to go.
HTH,
Axel _______________________________________________
