View Power On Self-Test results via AppleScript
Authored by: markformac on Apr 26, '06 09:47:04AM

I understand what you are saying. But what I am trying to say is that if the System Profiler doesn't report a problem, then how is this script, which I guess works in sync with System Profiler's test results, show an error?

View Power On Self-Test results via AppleScript

Hi, not 100% sure I follow, but I'm pretty sure this will answer your question...

If the text, "Result: Passed" appears in the Power On Self Test, then the script simply exits, otherwise it displays a dialog containing the text that was returned.

Some people are reporting that their diagnostic result is "No information available". If there is no information available, the command line tool displays no text whatsoever. As the script uses the command line tool, it would, in that case, display a dialog containing no text.

Hope that answers your question.

Matt.
