I made a very simple script to restart a computer on my network. But becuase it's on my network, it gets a dialog telling me users are connected, and it asks me how long till i disconnect them. It won't continue the shutdown/restart until this dialog is taken care of, there by bypassing the whole point of the script, to not have to touch or be in the same room as the computer. Any ideas?

First thought is for a non-AppleScript solution...

Okey Dokey Pro is a system extension you can install on your machine. It will automatically click any dialog's OK button after a preset interval. That way, even if the dialog does appear, Okey Dokey Pro will click Ok for you if you're not there.

There got tobe a way to take care of this either within the script or through some filsharing preference some where

First, you need to determine which app is generating the dialog. Then add a:
Tell application "Whatever"
Quit
End Tell
statment to your script. You can determine this by downloading a program called "MemMapper". It works like the Process Viewer in OS X, and list everything running on your system, names, memory used, etc. It's very handy.

Anyway, if you quit the app before you send the "restart" command, the dialog box is circumvented.

One word of caution, there is a reason why you get the dialog. You could possibly harm other computers, especially if they are using a shared file. You might also want to look into scripting the app that generates the dialog.

I'm thinking that the File Sharing extension handles this, you can open it in the Script Editor (via the Open Dictonary command) to get a list of commands you can use to automate it. Add these to your script and you're set.
