Hello, I have put together an applescript ( from pieces of other peoples scripts and a bit of my own. Upon boot the script tells me the date and time, says hello, checks my email and notifies me of new messages. It also opens my favorite programs. What I would like to write now is a similar script that will do most of this when the computer comes off standby. What I don't know/can't seem to find is how to begin the script. I assume it needs to be triggered by the same event that "wakes the computer up" but that could be wrong to. I guess what I need to know is how to trigger the script. Its probably obvious but I am very green at this so if I have asked a bad or unclear question please let me know. Also, I am posting the original script for anybody that wants it to use. Thanks --Jake
