ScriptDaemon
Authored by: mazatty on Aug 28, '03 12:57:28AM

actually i've been working on a applescript daemon for a week or so. right now it just does timers, run a script at a certain time, and run a script right now. it has a folder of scripts that it loads at startup and can be reloaded so the daemon doesn't have to be restarted. it's written in applescript right now, but i think i'm going to look into applescript studio so it can have a fancy interface, right now it has none. the interface is provided by applescripts that add timers to the daemon. it also allows for the scripts to send a script object to be used as the action for the timer. the ability to send script object is very handy and adds some useful functionality, but it does open up a bit of a security hole if you have remote apple events enabled. repeating scripts are a good idea. application dependencies can be done in the scripts, but i can see some advantages to having them in the daemon.

thanks for the ideas.
