Apple script : Can instruments tool be controlled using apple script
I'm exploring some things on apple script to control Instruments tool
Need help on this. I know "Finder" can be controlled, but still not successful on controlling instruments.
Can anyone please help me on this ?
-Thanks Kiran
The way to tell if an application is AppleScriptable or not is to attempt to open its scripting dictionary with AppleScript Editor. To do so, open AppleScript Editor, and choose "File > Open Dictionary", or hit ⇧⌘O. You can then choose any application by name, or, if the application you want doesn't show up there, click "Browse…" and navigate to wherever the application lives. If the application is greyed out or won't open, it's not AppleScriptable.
In this case, Instruments doesn't show up in the list for me, so I browsed to /Developer/Applications/
; there, Instruments is greyed out, so it looks like it's not AppleScriptable. Your best bet is either to use GUI scripting, which is not ideal, or look into running DTrace scripts from the command line. Unfortunately, I know nothing about DTrace, so I can't give you advice there; nor do I know anything about Instruments, so it's possible that this option isn't enough (although I think it is).
