Title: Re: Can we use applescript in packagemaker as postflight script?
Hi Manish,
As long as you are not displaying dialogs from your apple script, you could try saving the script as a .scpt file itself into your packages resources folder and calling it from your postflight shell script using the osascript tool like this
pathtoscript=$1/Contents/Resources/MyAppleScript.scpt
`osascript "$pathtoscript"`
Thanks
Dennet.

Hi List,
I am creating package of my application where I am using an apple script that I want to run as “postflight” script in the resource folder. Script looks some thing like this.
In this script I am setting the values corresponding keys “LastSyncSessionTime” and " LastSyncSessionTimeContact" to “none” in the plist of application.
.
set myPlist to "com.apple.myApp"
set someFile to ((path to preferences as Unicode text) & myPlist & ".plist")
try
someFile as alias
set mycal to do shell script "defaults read " & myPlist & " LastSyncSessionTime"
set myaddressbook to do shell script "defaults read " & myPlist & " LastSyncSessionTimeContact"
-- edit values to calValue & addressbookValue
set calValue to "none"
set addressbookValue to "none"
do shell script "defaults write " & myPlist & " LastSyncSessionTime " & calValue
do shell script "defaults write " & myPlist & " LastSyncSessionTimeContact " & addressbookValue
on error
--display dialog "File not exists"
end try
I want this script to run after performing installation of application. Unfortunately this is not working when placed in the resource folder as postflight script.
I am saving the apple script as application. My Mac version is 10.4.8 and package maker’s version is 2.2.2(123).
Is there is any way to use Apple Script in package maker?
Any help is useful.
Thanks and Regards,
Manish
