LXconsole and Applescript help

[nizer]

Had a catostrophic computer failure last night. Even iTunes would not work. Qlab wouldn't restart either. Good old trusty LXConsole kept chugging along though. I had no way to control the lights easily because they are triggered via MSC from Qlab and my tech person didn't get how to trigger lights in LXConsole.

How do I use applescript to trigger cues in LXConsole. I tried a bunch of stuff last night and failed.

All I need is

tell application LXConsole
activate
GO cueNumber 1
end tell

tell application LXConsole
activate
GO cueNumber 4
end tell

This way I can still trigger a few emergency cues while I am on stage.

This should do what you want:

tell application "LXConsole"

activate

setMode the front document to "live"

tell the front document

doCommand string "cue: 1"

GO

end tell

end tell


As far as fixing your computer, there are several standard things to try. First, use DiskUtility and repair disk permissions. That's always a good first try. Second, if you are running Mountain Lion, it is possible that GateKeeper is preventing an unsigned application from running. Open System Preferences->Security & Privacy and look at the "Allow applications downloaded from" setting. You may need to disable GateKeeper to run unsigned applications.

it works perfectly. This way even if Qlab is done for, I can turn on and off the lights.
