Can't get event dictionary
Authored by: SeanAhern on Apr 27, '02 01:25:48PM

I haven't tried the script through cron, but it doesn't work from the command line yet.

It prompts me for my password (and asks if I want to add it to the keychain). Then it goes:

syntax error: Can't get the application's event dictionary. (-2709)

Any ideas?

Since submitting the tip on Friday - some errant behaviour has cropped up - seems the osascript component is much buggier than first thought - sometimes it runs properly - sometimes not.

There is a lively discussion I started on the boards including a proposed solution.
