I want to be able to remotely execute applescripts by sending messages from iMessage. I want to test who is sending the message (so it is secure), then execute the text that is received. I have tried using the message received handler for when a message is received, but it doesn't seem to work. How can I do this?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
You might try asking on the Mac OS X Technologies forum or at MacScripter.net.
Hi,
Your starter for 10.
Go to Hard Drive name/Library/Scripts/Messages
Open iTunes Remote Control.applescript in the AppleScript editor.
It has a disclaimer at the top saying you can modify it under certain conditions.
I would make a copy first and work on that.

The script isn't there, even when I select it in the preferences.
Umm,
I have the same AppleScript in iChat 5.x.x in the same folder in Snow Leopard. (well, actually it is in the iChat folder in the Scripts folder)
I even have it on my Leopard Computer for iChat 4.0.9 (again in the iChat folder).
We are talking about the Library folder seen at the top level of the Hard Drive (Along with System, Applications, Users) rather then the Home Folder/Library of the logged in User.

Okay. I found the script, and I sort of got my own script working, but it only works if the chat is not the active chat. What handler do I need to add to get it to work? (I have added it to the message received in active conversation event in Messages' preferences.)
HI,
At this point if you want to modify the Apple version to something you can use then I, like Barney-15E, would suggest the Community he mentioned.

How can I remotely execute scripts using Messages?
