This is correct. Apple events can't start processes; appscript uses the Process Manager to launch applications as needed, but this only works for the current user. You need to send an 'open' event to Finder or System Events (if they're running), or use the 'open' utility (if ssh access is available), or something like that. > Appscript fails because it can't get the > app's terminology; with terms=False on a non-running TextEdit, I get > "AppData instance has no attribute 'path'". That particular error message is due to a bug - it should give an 'application not running' error instead. It should be fixed in 0.17.3 if you want to grab a copy from svn: svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/appscript/py- appscript/tags/py-appscript-0.17.3 has -- http://appscript.sourceforge.net http://rb-appscript.rubyforge.org http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript.html _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
