Basic

Very simple AppleScript scripts to start using the BlueSense app rapidly and next develop your own scripts.

Complete

More complete examples of AppleScript I personally use:

  • Disable/Enable automatic session login
  • Start/Stop the Screen Saver with password protection
  • Play/Pause Spotify or Deezer for Mac.

Configure the scripts

Administrator password

To use this scripts you have to create a new password item, containing your administrator password, in the Mac OS X Keychain with a custom title and edit the scripts to add this title.

  1. Open Keychain app and create a new password item +N
  2. Enter a Keychain Item Name (this is the name you will enter in the scripts)
  3. Enter your short username for your "Account Name" (the name of your home folder)
  4. And your administrator password for the password

Authorize access

When you execute the script for the first time it will prompt to allow access for "security" to the keychain item, click on allow always

# Create a new password in the Keychain app with your administrator
# password and set the name here.
property KeychainPasswordName : "BlueSensePassword"

Select which parts of the script to run

You can select the parts of the script you want to run by configuring them like this

# Exemple to run the script who enable the Screen Saver password (yes/no)
property RunEnableScreenSaverPassword : yes

Spotify, Deezer, Skype

These applications have to be installed on your system to use them in the script. By default, script parts for each of these apps are commented. If you want to use one of these apps, remember to un-comment the script for each app.

script SpotifyPlayPause
	# To uncomment this script for Spotify remove (* and *)
	(* UNCOMMENT TO USE SPOTIFY
	try
		-- script here ...
	on error errString number errorNumber
		log (errString)
	end try
	*)
end script
