I have the following script to shut down a bank of machines. It runs from the editor but not when saved as a script or app. It also runs as a QuicKeys script, so that's my workaround. But why? TIA. set machNum to "11" repeat 7 times set machNum to (machNum + 1) as string set remoteMachine to "eppc://pge:[log in to unmask]" & machNum using terms from application "Finder" tell application "Finder" of machine remoteMachine to shut down end using terms from end repeat
