Avoid AppleScript command errors when used via SSH
Authored by: geohar on Nov 10, '04 09:30:37AM

I run applescript under screen the whole time! But you are right, the console user and your user have to match. The thing that seems to happen is that the process group of the shells under a reattached screen sometimes don't seem to be right. Not quite sure if that's a bug in screen or not.

BTW fink has a better version of screen than the one installed with X, and has XTerm mouse passthru fixed (so you can use the mouse via PuTTY or whatever to edit in vim and emacs).

Avoid AppleScript command errors when used via SSH

Wow. I hadn't tried all the different combinations.

Applescript (say) worked for me under screen this time! Even after a detach & reattach from the same SSH session. It does, however, fail if you exit the SSH session that you created the screen in and reattach from another one. If you leave the SSH that created the screen open it does work after a reattach. I didn't look through 'ps -j' to figure out what exactly is going on.
