Error when I Log-in under different user-name

General · December 25, 2004, 10:32pm

I have a stay-open script that starts/stops certain apps depending on whether the screensaver is running or whether other conditions are met.
Despite my sloppy syntax, the script has been running flawlessly for months.
Recently I created a new user account on my computer, and when I try to run the app while logged-in as the newly created user, I get the following error:
“You are running me from a CD or something else where I can’t write.
Please run this application from a hard-drive.”
This error is pretty confusing to me because I AM running the application from a hard-drive and NOT a CD or something else.
Here’s the script if anyone can make sense of it…

I don’t have the patience to read through that massive script :shock: but is it possible the permissions of the script file/where you’re writing to are limited on the other profile?

General · December 26, 2004, 4:52am

That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I didn’t limit the Login Account when I created it.
I just checked, and it is set to STANDARD- That’s as high a level that an account can have without being the original (ADMIN) Login name.
Also, I have no problems going throu all the folders and files manually that the app might have to access.
I guess I’ll just try to comment-out portions of the script until I stop getting the error.
When I figure out the source of the error It’ll be easier to find a solution.

You’re missing the point.

The problem isn’t likely to be the type of account (standard vs. admin), but whether or not the second user has write privileges for the file (which is completely independent of whether the account is an admin account or not).

Select the file in the Finder and ‘Get Info’. Expand the ‘Ownership and Permissions’ section and you’ll probably see that the script is ‘owned’ by your original username and that other users can only read the file. In order to run the script other users will need write privileges, or you’ll need to edit the script so it doesn’t use properties.

Problem solved…
The error message wasn’t coming from my script.
I have a certain FREEWARE app that records keystrokes so I know what others are doing on my 'puter.
Unfortunately, it can only write to the ADMIN account. I can’t even make changes to the Permissions in the ‘Get Info’!
At least I’ll have a record of what I do on mt computer.
Freeware- Worth every penny.
Thanks for the input/advice. Merry Day-After-Christmas!
