Hi
i tried to make a communication between a regular app (EvoCam) that loads a script which in turn “pokes” my ASOC app to run a function.
i couldn’t do it.
anyway, all these different apps (evocam, applemail, bluephoneelite) should ever do, is pass a number/state (activated, deactivated, triggered) to my own app.
well i figured it is too complicated to make my application “listening” directly.
so i was thinking…
what about a man in the middle? or more suitable, a file in the middle.
so, e.g. evocam writes into a plist, and as soon as the file gets changed, my own app should notice this, read out the value from that plist and act accordingly.
now, basically that is possible if i make a loop in my applescript that always checks this file for a change.
however, this would mean, that the app would always be in a loop and take a lot of resource.
i was wondering if it is somehow possible to “watch” a file and run a function inside my ASOC app?
