View Power On Self-Test results via AppleScript
Authored by: mattcomi on Apr 25, '06 07:37:31PM

Indeed you can look at your POST results at any time by going to System Profiler, but if the error is non-fatal, (e.g. a failing RAM slot) why would you think to look? The point of using this script is to catch the kind of errors that would otherwise be swept under the carpet.

By the way, ppp, I noticed that behaviour on a colleagues Macbook Pro. I assumed that only his was doing that as it seems ludicrous that the POST was supposed to contain "No Information Found". I'm not sure what to do about that one, I guess we'll have to wait and see what a Macbook Pro does when something actually goes wrong ;)

Matt.
