Cronnix task (opening another app) not executing properly #10

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. AppleScript compiled as ".app" file, containing:

tell application "NZBVortex.app"
run
end tell

2. set the above script to run at any time using Cronnix

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
if i directly run the NZBVortex app or the above compiled AppleScript, it runs 
with no problem. its licensed to my user account, and with the license has all 
the advanced features enabled.

if i leave it to this Cronnix job, since the Lion upgrade, the app bouces in 
the dock with a message that it isnt licensed. this means the app doesnt pick 
up the queued items placed in a specific "watched" Finder folder.

looking at the app after its executed does run as my user account though...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Cronnix 3.0.2
Lion 10.7 (as up-to-date as available from Software Update)

Please provide any additional information below.

Are there known issues with Cronnix on Lion? Or is it explainable in some other 
manner?

regards

dan

Dan, you shouldn't have to create an apple script to launch an app from 
CronniX. Simply set up a task and drag and drop the app on the command field 
should be fine. If the app you're using does something special, you can try it 
with TextEdit to confirm it's being opened by CronniX (make sure you quit it 
first).

Does that help?

I just tested CronniX 3.0.2 on Lion and it works fine for me.

Cheers,
Sven
