Running AppleScript without Window Server context

Subject: Running AppleScript without Window Server context
From: Dirk Stegemann <email@hidden>

Hello fellow developers,

I wrote a Foundation tool which uses NSAppleScript's 'executeAndReturnError:' method to run an AppleScript constructed at runtime.

I'm running this tool frequently as cron job (actually, the cron job executes a shell script which in turn runs my tool). Everything is fine until the user whose crontab is responsible for running the cron jobs is switched away via "Fast User Switch".

Then, in the system.log I find following message:

osascript: kCGErrorRangeCheck : Window Server communications from outside of session allowed for root and console user only

I don't want to install my cron jobs in the root user's crontab to ensure they will run reliably.

Is there any way to circumvent this problem? Maybe there is another API to issue AppleScripts without connecting to the Window Server...

Any input is appreciated!

Regards,
Dirk Stegemann
