Yes, scripts writing scripts. The end is near.
Essentially what happens is that we are deploying Mac's on the network & the laptop need to have the WiFi set-up. One of my co-workers had created a script that does the whole thing when you hit run. The only lines that need to be changed are the SSID & the key. The file is labelled as filename.scpt whihc is an AppleScript file. Any editor in cluding the ones suggested just garbles the information & you cannot edit the 2 lines needed. The probl;em is that the only way we can change the script at this point is to use a Mac OS X machine...which isn't a huge deal, but just slow things down a bit. Some guys have Mac's but mopst of us have WIndows machines, hence the need for a program to run on a WIndows box. Hope that clears everything up. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
