Okay.... I'm using QuicKeys to get around the authentication problem that crops up when I try to make a DMG from a remote machine. Here's the next level of complexity. I want my server to tell a second machine to run the applet that generates all the DMG files. The server has enough to do at night, just doing the back-ups of all the data that is on it. I'm attempting to use the following code to have the server get the remote machine to start making the DMGs of the folders on the various work stations. set remoteMachine to "eppc://MyName:[log in to unmask]" tell application "Make DMGs" of machine remoteMachine open end tell The problem being reported is that it cannot find the process of Make DMGs on remoteMachine. What is the solution to get one machine to activate and run an application on a remote machine? Regards, Chuck
