Remotely shutdown a classic mac
Posted by: galgot on 2015-07-31 23:00:40
Ok, now have a problem. Tried on another Mac , OS 8 too, and there Cron Manager opens the "*1.sit", but doesn't launch the resulting "*1" script at the same time. Have to wait another minute , then it opens again "*1.sit", and this time opens "*1" and "*1.1" , the two scripts now in the folder, at the same time. And there I get and error message saying that it can't do the script because there is already another same command command going on :-/

Funny it was working on the other Mac with same system... Maybe different Applescript versions?

Is there a way to make a script that would move the "*1.sit" file , or any file called somehing else than "*1" to the trash ?

I think that is a different Apple Script issue. You should be able to get the version number from "Get Info" from the icon.

On Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or lower with Appletalk activated on port connected.

In Script Editor

on run

tell application "Finder" of machine  --name of Mac to shutdown in quotes ""

shut down

end tell

end run
