2022.1 with "osascript wants to make changes" message

Hello Good People,

This week I updated my quiet but working 7.5 to the newest 2022.1.
I am getting a constant popup "osascript wants to make changes" message. Just occurred while typing this message.

The Activity Monitor points osascript to IndigoServer (556).
Can someone please help me with this issue that I did not have in 7.5v
Included are a couple of images.

Thank you kindly

You have an external AppleScript file (likely with extension .scpt) that is trying to do something macOS wants permission to complete first. That script file is being executed most likely as an Action inside Indigo (in a Trigger, Schedule, or a control on a Control Page). From the Activity Monitor app choose the Open Files and Ports tab for the osascript process and you will probably be able to find the file path that points to the .scpt file that is being executed so you can try to see what it is doing that might be causing macOS to complain.

Hello and thanks Matt for the response.
I will track it down.

Thanks.

Hello again Matt,

I took your advice and this is what I found.

Still scratching my head...

Hmmm. I was hoping it would show in there, but I guess not. Next I'd disable all of your Indigo Schedules (temporarily) to see if that stops it. If it does you can re-enable half of them and see if it starts again. If not, enable half of the other half, etc., until you find the schedule. It might also be a Trigger or maybe a Plugin.

Problem Solved

I had a scheduled task to synchronize network time that was causing the popup message.

Code: Select all

try
   do shell script "sudo ntpdate time.apple.com" password "123456" with administrator privileges
end try

The above code worked under macOS Maverick but no so much with macOS Mojave.

Thanks again.
