[QUOTE="bacchusf, post: 929017, member: 128218"] Hello, To track my computer in case my laptop is stolen, I am currently running a bash script to send hostname, ip, and cam capture image to my email every 5 minutes using cron. I believe this helps when I lose my laptop, but I want to send an email not only in timed manner but also in some critical incidents. i am thinking three cases: 1) internet is connected 2) login/logout/wakeup 3) some app (safari, etc) is launched. I searched web, and found this: 2c) wakeup case can be done by SleepWatcher However, I couldn't find other cases, and i prefer non-daemon approach (sleepwatcher will definitely use some memory.). I hope that i can do it with scripting languages, such as applescript or bash script. Please let me know if you know any of three cases. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
