Applescript fails with error (-600) when launched over ssh on Mavericks

Question

I\'ve tried searching for this, and have seen others with similar problems but don\'t seem to have found an answer anywhere....

I have an AppleScript that I am tryin

Answer 1

@benmarbles code seems to be missing something at the end of line 2 -- it won't even compile.

Anyhow, I've seen the same issue with "Image Events" and I solved it with a simplified version of that script. Here's how I handle it:

tell application "System Events" to set thePID to (unix id of process "Image Events")
set killCMD to ("kill -9 " & thePID) as text
do shell script killCMD with administrator privileges

Replace Image Events with System Events to kill that process instead. The System Events process keeps itself alive, so there's no need to do anything to relaunch it.
