It's possible that sending arguments in a script command like this is illegal, but even no-arg scripts like "/bin/pwd" fail in all cases. I'm about ready to conclude that "result of script" as an .mpkg requirement has no meaningful functionality and cannot actually be used. --Chris On Jan 29, 2010, at 11:09 AM, Chris Devers wrote:

At least as of 10.6, the -W is a timeout in milliseconds for each ping.

I see. Maybe `ping -t` would be more robust? It exists on 10.5 & 10.6, and sets an overall timeout for the command, rather than a specific timeout for each ping request. Thus, `ping -t 10` would be roughly equivalent to the `ping -c2 -w5000` that you're using.
