I wrote this little script to restart SIMS. I am just starting to put it
into full time use, and it seems to work so far. I should have a better
idea of it's effectiveness after a week or so.
Anyway if you want to try this at your own risk, here it is. Note that
this assumes you are running OS X and SIMS in the classic environment.
It also assumes that their is no SIMS alias in your startup items
folder. If you make any improvements, I would appreciate a copy if you
don't want to post it to this list.
Thanks,
Kevin
