What if I'm logged out?
Authored by: Morgoth on Sep 24, '02 09:07:08PM

Can AppleScript run if I'm not logged in?

I share my computer with four others so I can't stay logged in.

Right now email notificaiton only works for me while I'm on the machine, which is pretty pointless.

ical must be running for it to notify you (i dont believe it has any sort of a daemon process to do this either while the app is not running, or you're logged out) sorry.

iCal doesn't need to be running ....

... on my OSX box, mrbiiggy. Sorry for jumping into the middle of this, but I just wanted to say that, if all you really want is for iCal to send its reminders without bothering you [without even bothering you to start iCal], you merely need to ensure that the "System Events" application is in your Login items. I have it there [and don't even recall how it got there]. I'm logged in round the clock, but iCal isn't open unless I want to go look at my calendar.

My iCal reminders get sent via Mail.app, but that's not a prob for me. It's never asked me whether I want to send, either--maybe this relates to the options I used when setting up Mail with my email account info.

One slight bummer is that Mail.app doesn't close when it's finished sending reminders--I bet that's why you folks want to use sendmail, eh?
