macbook2.16G / 10.6.4. Can anyone help? Thanks.

An updated applescript with a few more fixes is uploaded.

My version will check to see if the System Preferences is open and if it is it’ll reopen it to the same pane so as not to disturb your workflow.

The Script works. The only thing I had to do was add

tell application “System Preferences”
quit
end tell

in front of your script because the script won´t function if the Preferences are running. I also removed the

set volume without output muted
set response to “”

lines because I didn´t need them and I had to replace the quotation marks but after that everything works just fine

Thank you and all the best,

Yes I’m using a version of this on Snow Leopard.

Here’s the script (simplified to the very basics):

tell application “System Events”
set volume without output muted
set response to “”
tell security preferences
if get require password to wake is true then
set require password to wake to false
set response to “De-Activated”
else
set require password to wake to true
set response to “Activated”
end if
end tell
tell application “GrowlHelperApp”
set the allNotificationsList to {“Security Setting”}
set the enabledNotificationsList to {“Security Setting”}
register as application “AppleScript – PW” all notifications allNotificationsList default notifications enabledNotificationsList icon of application “System Preferences”
notify with name “Security Setting” title “Security: PW-Settings” description “Passwords have been ” & response & “!” application name “AppleScript – PW”
end tell
end tell

Does this help somebody?

BR,
David

All the best
