-- This is not directly along the lines you need, but possibly could be an
alternative. Some years ago someone in WAMUG said that they set aside an area
of memory as a RAM Disk and nominated that as their browser cache area. I use
the technique and have found it effective.
-- It means that when the cache fills up, most applications will automatically
clear it for the new stuff. Also, if you close down, the RAM Disk is emptied.
No space is used on your hard disk, and because the cache is actually in
memory, accessing recently-cached stuff is very fast. Maybe this will help.

Hi all,
With respect to my previous posting regarding emptying Safari's Cache
automatically. I have tried a script (found on the internet) that
invokes the 'empty cache' option on Safari. I was going to put it as an
application in the logout folder in the student's workspace. It seems
to read well but comes up with an error. Here is the script:
tell application "Safari"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "Empty Cache..." of menu "Safari" of
menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
However it returns the error:
System Events got an error
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError 4
A search on the internet reveals the error stating "the object doesnt
support the command that was sent to it"
Can any one put me on the right track?
regards
Eugene
