10.4: Stagger startup items for less system impact
"open -a Mail" works quite well you know.
Summation plus correction
I think this is a working sample
The correction is "script" not "command."
Thanks to all the posters. I've never been happy with my other solutions to this problem. I think the serial shell script solution will work for me.

That's correct. My mistake.

For that matter, the shell code can do the delays too, with something like: sleep 20 open /Applications/MyApp.app sleep 2 open -a Mail sleep 2 open /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari Et cetera. Note that sleep in the shell code replaces the delay in the Applescript, and that the three variants of the open command can all be used more or less interchangeably. The second version is usually shortest, but the short name for an app launched this way isn't always obvious, e.g. I think the Office programs all have slightly oddball short names, but off the top of my head I can't remember what they were, or how to look that string up. Using the other two versions is a little more typing, but it's guaranteed to work. --- |
