Question

I am getting an AppleEvent timed out error when my Applescript is running and the screensaver turns on and locks the screen. The applescript completes the current operation and when trying to do the next Finder operation it does not proceed but waits and times out.

I cannot increase the time-out time limit since I will not unlock the screen at all. Is there a way to ignore waiting for the screen unlock or some other solution to this?

Thanks in advance.

The best answer I have received (from macscripter.net) is to use shell commands instead of Finder commands to avoid this timeout.
