BoF Session: Scripting and Automation in Leopard (Feb 6th, 7PM: MaRS Toronto)
In conjunction with Digital Transitions, IronGate is pleased to announce the latest in an ongoing series of informative and collaborative ‘Birds of a Feather’ sessions for IT managers and administrators. The BoF seminars introduce and present real life implementations of OS X and OS X Server in practical situations. Presentations are given by both industry experts and system administrators with open discussions and group collaboration.
During this session, Steve Hayman (Apple Inc) will lead a discussion about the state of scripting in Mac OS X 10.5, including recent changes to Applescript, Automator, and other scripting tools. Among other things, we’ll show off some of the ways that scripting lets you extend Apple Remote Desktop to simplify some common tasks. Why wait for Apple to add the features you need when you can script many of them yourself?
