You could use Remote Apple Events to do it. Like this: Using terms from application "Database Daemon" tell application "Database Daemon" of machine "eppc://localhost" to quit End using When prompted for username and password enter your wife's details. It should then target the instance of the Database Daemon running in your wife's account. Make sure when you enter the login details you save them in the Keychain, as well as turning on Remote Apple Events in the Sharing system preference pane. -- Matthew Smith -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
