Script Trigger from one account to another

Featured Replies

Hello,

Is there any way an event on one account triggers a script that would run on another user's machine? Basically I want to create something so if a user selects something from a box or checkbox it causes another account on another computer to perform a script.. why you ask? I want to make one computer and one account set up for email me stuff but I don't want the other users to know it's happening. I have it set up now so those emails are timed events through a combination of applescript and filemaker with mail rules in place.

Any ideas?

First a script trigger can not trigger an immedaite action on another user's box.

Second, I don't follow why you need this. If you want stuff to be emailed to you without others knowing about it, then why not just send the email silently?

I tried that but it causes some sort of message to prompt on a windows box (end users use windows)... plus, won't it be in their outbox / sent messages?

Thanks though.... now i know i'll have to figure it out on the server box.

If you upgrade to FM10, then you won't involve the user's email client at all.
