Bug in "ConnectWithAppleRemoteDesktop.py"

Deadline

Hi
In: “DeadlineRepository7/scripts/General/ConnectWithAppleRemoteDesktop.py” it says on line 95:

script += 'tell application "Finder"\n'

It should read:

script += 'tell application "Remote Desktop"\n'

Doesn’t work if you don’t change this.

V: 7.1.0.35 R

Thanks for reporting this! We’ll get that fixed in the upcoming 7.1.2 patch release.

Cheers,

Silly question because I haven’t used this before, but does this require an app to be installed?

Would calling a command line app like open vnc://[hostname] be better?

I have no idea, just asking.

Yes calling “Remote Desktop” requires Apple Remote Desktop to be installed. Please keep the ARD script that way.
Maybe you could add an alternative script called “ConnectWithOsxVnc” or something.
One suggestion to the ARD script: if the user have selected more than one slave when firing the script, it could maybe default to “observe” not “control” in the apple script section, so that the selected slaves would be show in one ARD window, not many.
