Hi! I've been using Applescript to forward remote control events from one machine to another on my network. Basically I've defined Actors for each button press/release event that does something like this:
tell application "Remote Buddy" of machine "eppc://me@mymachine"
scriptremote button "menu" event "press"
end tell
This was all working perfectly until yesterday when I updated both machines to Remote Buddy 1.17 -- now it gives me an error "Application isn’t running." Of course the Application is running on both machines. I can remotely script other applications, so it's not a connectivity problem, and I have the password saved in my keychain. It also fails when I input the password in the eppc:// url as well.
Is there a solution to this problem? If not, is it possible to downgrade to the previous version?
Thank you,
Yusef Napora
EDIT -- I found an older version on a shareware site (1.16.4) and installed it on the machine that's receiving the remote apple events. Now it works again. I'll just stick with this and turn off the automatic updates for now, but maybe you should look into this. It's kind of an edge case, but other people might find remote apple scripting useful.
