10.5: Avoid syslogd CPU usage when using AppleScript
Authored by: diamondsw on Jul 08, '08 08:05:16AM

Anyone else see the irony of using an Applescript to fix a problem caused by Applescript? Meanwhile, why on earth wrap two lines of bash shell code inside Applescript? It adds absolutely nothing to the script.

Because AppleScript users would want to???

I would imagine that wrapping command line scripts in AppleScript for a hint aimed at AppleScript users is reason enough. Beyond that, if you put these two lines at the beginning of your own AppleScript, it would take care of the syslogd issue before executing the rest of your AppleScript. Then there's no need to launch Terminal just to prepare to run an AppleScript.
