Re: chmod not working on firewire drive

2005-04-25 Thread Trey Harris 
I've had the same thing happen, though I don't really understand what's
going on terribly well.  If Ignore ownership on this volume is clicked
in the Finder's Get Info window for the volume, and it got mounted at boot
time (i.e., by root), or by another user, it seems like this can happen.

Try unchecking the box, ejecting and remounting.

 I'm having a disquieting experience in which I can't remove write
 permission (i.e. bash$ chmod a-x filespec) on my firewire drive.

 I've sudoed to no avail.

 Any ideas?

Mac::Glue script

2005-04-25 Thread Mark Wheeler 
Hi,
I've been thinking about installing Mac::Glue to do the following:
The script will open Internet Connect, dial a number (given by the 
script). When a connection is established, a sound file will be played 
5 X (or what ever number of repetitions). After the connection is lost 
(phone is hung up after listening to the sound file), the connection is 
closed, Internet Connect quits and the script ends.

Is Mac::Glue the right tool for this job? Is there a script already in 
existence that does the above? Is what I am wanting to do even 
possible?

Thanks for your input,
Mark
