Automator and Remote Desktop 3

As you may know, the US online Apple Store went down briefly this morning, and returned to reveal Apple Remote Desktop 3 (RD3). As we pointed out, this is a major update with a slew of changes. Automator World is pointing to a page at Apple's site that details the Automator-specific changes to RD3. Available actions include:

  • Choose remote computer (sort of a no-brainer)

  • Copy items to computers (nice)

  • Execute new UNIX task (again, nice)

  • Restart computers

  • Send text message

There's more, of course. I've already begged the finance department at my day job to let me order this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
