Chapter 28. Location Manager Control Panel
Location Manager is a
control panel that allows the user to establish and switch between
various named computer and networking configurations. The (minimally)
scriptable control panel is located in startup disk:System
Folder:Control Panels. Figure 28-1 shows
the Location Manager window. You can use it to set up and name a
configuration or location that controls several characteristics of
your system, including:
AppleTalk and TCP/IP settings The default
printer File sharing (whether it is on or off) The set of Extension files that loads when the computer boots
up Internet settings (such as the default
browser, FTP, and telnet apps) Remote Access The time zone for the computer's internal clock
You can switch between settings using an AppleScript, but not much
more. The Examples section at the end of the chapter checks the
current location (a property of the Location
Manager program), and then changes the location to a different one.
