Not only does every Mac OS server need a PowerKey, but every Mac-based info kiosk. If the actions the PowerKey Editor offers aren't quite enough, you can write your own External Action. External Actions are nothing more that HyperCard XCMDs. After a restart, the new External Action will appear at the bottom of the Action Selector List. A simple PowerKey external, Beeper, plays your beep sound through the Mac's speaker.
Beeper takes only one parameter, the number of times to beep the speaker.
This code is available on the PowerKey installation disk. Setup base registers so we can access global variables. Pro Although able to run any OSA-compliant script, the PowerKey itself is scriptable, so any event can be scripted and executed. The PowerKey has inspired some third party tools and integrates well with others. With the addition of a PowerKey Pro 600, PageSentry can merely activate a PowerKey Script to restart the web server.
