Here’s the v1.00 revision of the Indigo Security Script sample.
The Changes included here are:
* Fixed bug in the Chime code that would not reset the Chime_Last_Sounded_ms value properly.
* Added the date back to the XXXXX_Last_update value.

The Adventures of Systems Boy!: Delayed ACK Startup Item for Intel Macs: ”
Delayed ACK Startup Item for Intel Macs
MacFixit just reported about troubles the new Intel-based Macs are having with network speeds, particularly AFP connections to, of all things, other Macs. The solution, they report, is to set the delayed_ack property to 0. In order for this change to survive a reboot, however, they recommend editing /etc/rc. The problem with this is that, often, edits made to /etc/rc will be overwritten by future updates to Mac OSX. In my experience, such modifications are better handled with a startup item, which is also a lot easier to add and remove. So I’ve suggested as much to the fine folks over at MacFixit, and I’ve even put my money where my mouth is. I’m offering to those who need it this delayedACK Startup Item, hand made by yours truly.
The linked disc image contains the delayedACK Startup Item, and also includes an installer and an uninstaller for the Startup Item.
Enjoy, you lucky Intel Mac owners (of which, alas, I am not one… Yet…)
UPDATE:
“
Here’s a revision of the Indigo security script sample, that adds GROWL support, X10 Chime support, and the data is stored in a array/matrix.
Please be Kind… This is the first major Applescript that I have done… So any suggestions on improving it, are welcome…
The key to customizing this script, is as follows:
1) Use_Growl, if true, Growl notifications will be broadcast for any Opened / Closed events. If False, no Growl notifications will be sent.
2) The X10 Chime support is activated on a Alarm by Alarm Basis… (See Alarm_Matrix)
3) The Chime can be set to only be activated on a OPEN status change
4) The Chime can be set to not activate until xx minutes have past since the last chime.
(For example, I trigger the chime by opening the door to take the trash out… I don’t
want the chime to go off again until 3 minutes later… That way when I come back in
the chime won’t go off… The Growl notifications & log entries are still created,
the chime just doesn’t go off..)
5) The Alarm’s to monitor are stored in a array…
The array stores the Alarm ID, the English name that you want to use in the
log & growl notifications (NO SPACES IN THE English name!). The Growl notification
flag for each sensor, the chime flag for each sensor, and the Indigo label for the chime module.
– 1 - Device ID
– 2 - English Name,
– 3 - Growl flag
– 4 - Chime flag
– 5 - Indigo Chime Device ID (Label)
Example:
property Alarm_Matrix : {¬
{9, “Test_Sensor”, true, true, “G01 = Remote Chime”}, ¬
}
