Thanks for your reply, Dave. Is there any way that SD can trigger an Applescript or another program, like Keyboard Maestro or Automator?

You can use osascript, in a shell script, to run applescripts. You just can't run them 'as' shell scripts.

Thanks Dave. Sorry to keep bugging you about this. I don't know what an osascript is. I've poked around the net a bit, but I have no idea how to create an osascript in a shell script that will launch an applescript that I've created. If that is easy or you can point me in the right direction, would you mind? I'd love to get this figured out, so I can launch the backup in the middle of the night and know that it'll shut down when it's finished.
thanks, eric |

It's a command to do a shell script. But as I said above, it's not going to help if it's already failing, since it's exactly what SuperDuper! is already doing. Can I suggest you have it sleep instead?

Still consistent on my machine: Shut down times out when I logged in shortly before starting the backup, only then and always then, regardless whether the login is with or without (shift key) login items.
I noted the logs, and there is always the same message in system log at the moment when SuperDuper! gives the shut down command. SuperDuper! log: Code:
| 11:29:38 PM | Info | PHASE: 4. And Finally... | 11:29:38 PM | Info | ...ACTION: Shutting down computer | 11:29:38 PM | Info | ......COMMAND => Shutting computer down | 11:29:38 PM | Info | Copy complete. Code:

I don't think the 2nd one is related; the first is OK.

You are right, the same lines appear in system log when subsequently shutdown occurs as expected.
I noticed something else: Until now, I solved the situation by dismissing the error message, quitting SD! and then shutting down the computer. This time I dismissed the error message, chose Shut Down... from the Apple menu and clicked Shut Down in the dialog. After about one minute again the error message appeared that SD! could not be quit. Nothing at all in console and system log. |
