Share an iTunes library among multiple users (revisited)

I will post the Applescript code, its just a one liner, check the page soon

as for the "do it on login":

yup, thats all good under mac os x 10.2. you can use "Login Items" or "Startup Items" (forgot the correct name) under System Preferences to configure to run the script

BUT

you would also need to go via an Applescript app that is calling the unix script as the Startup Items pref pane doesnt eat any shell scripts.


Under Mac OS X 10.3, this would plainly not work, because of "Fast User Switching". Ok it would work the first time a user logs in using Fast User Switching (the Startup items are executed that time). But on any subsequent switches, the permissions would not be changed (startup items are not executed anymore)

hence the need to do it upon launch of the application.
