Hi,
I work in an IT support job at a university, one of the things I have to do is take care of about 50 student used Macs, each running 10.3.9. I recently found one of them was quite recently kernel panicing, and had been doing so for about a week, so I wondered if I could get the Mac to tell me when it had done so. I had a look at applescript, this seemed to be the way forward, I could also get them to check the hard disks SMART status aswell, and hopefully report back to me, via appending a log file on the server I have.
However, I’m running into problems running these scripts on startup. They run ok, but the Finder window becomes visible behind the log in screen, then anyone that logs in afterwards logs in as root, which is obviously not what I want students logging in as. I can’t set the app to run as a login item due to the system the students use to log in, so my question is: why is the finder showing through? Is there another command I need after ‘tell application “Finder”’, other than ‘end tell’, or am I going about it entirely wrong?
Cheers
