Q: Deploying Folder Actions to Clients?
I want to deploy a backup folder action to the clients on my network, but can't find a way to easily do this. Any ideas? Sorry if this has already been covered on the forum, I did a search and didn't see anything...
MacBook Pro 15in., Mac OS X (10.6.2)

folder actions themselves are stored in ~/library/Scripts/folder action scripts.
the actual folder action setup is contained in a couple of plists com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
in the folder ~/library/launchagents. you can copy all this stuff to clients computers to the corresponding locations in various home folders.
the act of attaching an action to a folder can also be scripted via applescript using "System Events". consult scripting dictionary for System Events for details.
