I've read that this is doable, but I can't find a single example. Can
someone show me how? I just want to execute a simple script like
tell application N
name of windows
end tell
where N is the psn of the app.
PSNs not so much. You can target apps by PIDs in AS, but that
involves messing about with eppc URLs and Remote Apple Events which
introduces authentication/security issues.
I must confess that I don't remember the exact formula (I published
it once on this list, though), but it's as Has has said. It's
something like tell app "SomeApp" of machine
"eppc://someURL?pid=SomePSN" but if I remember correctly it won't
work with 127.0.0.1 or localhost. eppc doesn't connect to self.
Otherwise (that is, between different machines), it works flawlessly,
except that (I think) you cannot use Keychain because it's confused,
it thinks "eppc" is really "cppe", and that hangs the caller app.
