10.4: Use Automator to start screen saver on remote Mac
Authored by: daren_mitchell on Sep 13, '05 06:31:02PM

OK, the unix send command is a sure-fire winner!

My years in IT ServiceDesk taught me that you should fix the users machine and after you're done leave it in the exact condition you found it in (having fixed it of course).

Under NO circumstances are you to change anything that doesn't need changing to effect the fix. Putting a AppleScript on their computer and then into their dock violates this principal.

It's like taking your car to a mechanic, leaving it, and upon returning and driving home you find that they've changed radio stations, adjusted your mirrors and repositioned your seat.

If those things are what needed to be fixed that that's fine. It's just part of the solution. If you took it in to have the engine worked on...you're very likely to be most annoyed.
