I'm trying to remotely display a message on my Mac mini serving as our
DVR in another room, and running into a wall. The Mac mini is running
Mac OS X 10.4.11, and System Preferences > Sharing > Remote AppleEvents
is enabled, with "Allow events from Mac OS 9" checked and a
corresponding password set.
I ran this script command to figure out the format of the URL I should
use in my tell blocks:
choose URL showing Remote applications
So here's the script - it's quite simple. I just want to activate the
Finder and have it display a dialog box:
-- begin script
set hostName to "eppc://tv.jollyroger.net"
tell application "Finder" of machine hostName
activate
display alert "Title" message "Message" buttons {"Button"} giving
up after 10
end tell
-- end script
When I executed the script for the very first time, Script Editor asked
for my username and password, and I supplied it.
When script execution gets to the display alert line, it generates this
error:
Finder got an error: No user interaction allowed.
Any ideas?
