Say What runs on your Mac and allows you to remotely launch applications, documents or AppleScripts via a web browser. This allows you to remotely administer your machine via AppleScript, launch and quit applications to allow other services, or any other remote use you can think of. You can use any web browser on any platform to access Say What. It uses the standard HTTP protocol and will run on whatever port you decide so it can run alongside other web services. This version runs on MacOS 8.6 to OS X.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I mean, you could always ssh into your machine and type "open /path/to/applescript." But this gives you http access fairly elegantly. The only problem I have with it is that the built-in http server seems to die after a while. I've had to restart the server several times after trying to connect and not being able to. This sort of puts a damper on this utilities' usefulness and reliability, not knowing if you're gonna be able to connect when you need to. I've tried two different machines so I know it's not just a specific machine configuration causing the problem. But, when it works--it works great.
