A shell script to share Address Book data between users
Authored by: flyingcactus on Jun 17, '04 12:35:23AM

I have been using the symlink idea for a while now and it works well. The only draw back is that the changes that are made while the program is open are written to the file when you quit the program. This means that if two users are using the same Addressbook or iCal database, at the same time, then only one users changes will be saved, specifically the last person that closes the program.

To avoid this problem be sure that the other users do not have the program open, and that you close the programs right after you are done to be sure your changes are written to the file.
