Thanks for the comment, the salling clicker does work but it is very shotty in the way it was built, i will upload a new version of the scripts to work with the new versions.

Unfortuantly with my coding skills i will probally never be able to code the over rides to prevent the sleep from being activated when the lid closes, but due to the fact its open source im sure someone will be able to and if they do ill gladly accept a email and ill give them credit for their work

PS. Please use the more current blog posts next time

Liking this, and you could overtake iAlertU here with this one, especially since you have it working on more models. I would like a louder main alarm though please, and closing the lid needs an overide which doesn’t allow the laptop to sleep which in turn keeps the alarm functioning. Looking forward to the password protection and Salling Clicker working.

I have uploaded a new version which now detects which machine it is running on, there is no fail safes atm to protect it from running on a imac or any other machines. i plan to implement that in the next version

You might be able to use this to check the type of machine:

do shell script “/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | /usr/bin/grep ‘Machine Name’ | /usr/bin/colrm 1 20″

I am not familiar with editing the source code and I have a powerbook and would love to get this app working on my computer. Could someone please create a version for the powerbook and e-mail it to me or post a link to the file. Thanks so much!
