Local network messaging using AppleScript
Here's my version. I chose to ask for the machine name by text instead of buttons because I have more than 3 machines I'll use this with. I also see nothing wrong with storing passwords in scripts that will only be used on my home machines. Besides, when I didn't have the username and password in the script, and I chose to store it in the keychain when it asked, it caused Script Debugger to crash during that run of the script and every time after that until I deleted that entry from my keychain.
Notice that the scripts finds the frontmost app on the remote machine instead of forcing it to the Finder. The weird thing is that the dlog comes up while the screensaver is running. Cool. Except using the Copy to Clipboard button in the screensaver causes an error, because that app is no longer running after the display dialog exists.

Ack. Sorry I didn't prewrap the script. I didn't know the [code] format would respect the line width. |
