OS X has a built-in VPN client, the process name is "racoon". We have to re-connect often at work, so this script pops up the UI dialog from the command line. The alias first kills the racoon process, since it may be in a bad state.

QUESTION
I write a lot of AppleScripts and I organized my codes by using library scripts. Is there a simple way to define a common handler that I can invoke from my scripts?
For example, I create a library with a handler:
Script Libraries/logger.scpt
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-30 at 10:25You will need to implement an AppleScript Library with Terminology - i.e. add a dictionary to the library script.

QUESTION
When I run the following code I keep getting this:
Syntax Error: Expected end of line but found end of script error
I'm relatively new to AppleScript. This is my first try doing this and haven't been able to implement this yet. Let me know if I am missing anything, or if there is an alternative way to do this. The few similar examples I have seen have been single line applescripts, so I was wondering if that is the problem.

I'm trying to write an AppleScript that will simply copy the contents (both folders and files) from a specified source folder to a specified destination folder. At the moment my script runs but only copies one file and I can't work out how to get it to copy all files in the folder.
Here's my script:

We need to use a AppleScript to create an outgoing email message in macOS. The script works fine in the Script Editor. Using the code recommended by DTS https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/301006#301006 no results, warnings or errors. Same result with sample script from the forum. Need Swift and Apple Events expertise here. Thanks!
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Sep-03 at 23:28The problem with this code — which is an incredibly un-obvious problem, mind you — is that you're using code meant to run a script handler (a method or subroutine) to try to run the full script. One of the oddnesses of Obj-C's AppleScript classes is that there is no easy way to run a script with parameters, so the workaround is to enclose the code to be executed within a script handler, and use an Apple Event that calls that handler. To make your code work, you'll do something like the following...
First, change the script so that the code is in a handler:

I want to enable option "Open in Low Resolution" for all ".app" files in the system.
This is my Applescript code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Aug-13 at 16:55I suspect the problem is that you've put everything inside a Finder tell block. The Finder is notoriously finicky about scripting; best to use it as little as possible.
Rearranging things to use System Events seems to fix the problem (though admittedly my old MacBook Pro doesn't have a retina screen, so I had to test this using a different checkbox). Notice that you don't need to activate the Finder or the information window; you can do this all in the background.
QUESTION
I used to use two applescripts to find out the file name of the actual wallpaper image from desktop 1 and desktop 2 (dual monitor mode) under Mac OS High Sierra. One script for the main monitor and another one for the second monitor. Under Mac OS Mojave only the script for desktop 1 is still working. The script for desktop 2 is not working anymore. Tried to find the problem but couldn't find a solution. I am not a experienced applescript writer. Hope somebody can help.
Script1 for desktop 1 (main monitor):
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-May-17 at 09:26I found the problem. Somewhere between High Sierra and Mojave the preferences.picture_id number for desktop 2 for the active wallpaper image has changed.
With High Sierra the id was preferences.picture_id=5 and under Mojave it is preferences.picture_id=7.
Maybe this helps somebody else.
QUESTION
I'm making a simple menubar app to do some actions such as toggling dark mode in Mojave
Writing an AppleScript for it is fine and when it works 100% when directly running the script. In order to implement it into a menu bar app, I tried searching online and the only answer I found was in this link: Can you execute an Applescript script from a Swift Application
However, when I tried the first solution, I got an error in the console saying:

Answered 2018-Oct-02 at 05:10This error occurs if the application is sandboxed.
You have two options:

Application Scriptsfolder of the application and run it from there withNSUserAppleScriptTask
QUESTION
I would like a list of all the date added metadata for my Downloads folder on macOS. I found the following code (for macOS terminal) from http://forums.ilounge.com/applescripts-itunes-mac/100189-mdls-command-tiger.html, but it only works for the home directory. Adding a different directory as a modifier doesn't work, and using cd doesn't work. When I do those things, it still returns the results of the home directory. How do I get it to work for my Downloads folder, or is there another approach I should take? I've dabbled in AppleScript also if that is superior.

Answered 2018-Jul-31 at 21:59The following lists all dates:

QUESTION
current I am using some applescripts to the commands in mac machine.is apple allow applescripts in reviewing process or I have to look on alternatives but applescripts is working fine as for my requiremnts
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Mar-08 at 10:56Yes. Apple allows AppleScript in the Mac OS app development. You just need to add sandboxing in side your project and list all the app for you are using in AppleScript inside your apps entitlements file.
If you not added any entitlements then it will not allowed by apple. Try your app in sandboxing mode and you can see AppleScript not working because of no entitlements added for app.
Note : Some of the app not allowed to access using AppleScript. You app will be rejected by apple review team
To use AppleScript:
ONApp sandbox in project.- Add all
entitlementsrequired forAppleScriptaccess.

Install applescripts
From the OS X Network preferences, supply the name of your VPN network name in config.yml
chmod +x generate.rb and ./generate.rb. This should generate a openvpn.applescript file with your VPN network name in it.
Copy the contents of aliases to your ~/.bash_profile and source it (e.g. source ~/.bash_profile)
Now you should be able to run: openvpn
