This is the script I’m using edited from yours and I’m assuming after “click menu ‘Base Station”" that line you could use the “key code 125″ to choose which AirPort/Time Capsule you are looking to restart.

I also had to enable “access for assistive devices” under the Universal Access panel under System Preferences.

tell application “AirPort Utility”
activate
end tell

tell application “System Events”
delay 10
click menu “Base Station” of menu bar 1 of process “AirPort Utility”
key code 125
key code 125
key code 125
key code 125
key code 36
delay 5
end tell

tell application “AirPort Utility”
quit
end tell

nice script– my backups to TC were constantly failing once a day- and I got tired of troubleshooting without a fix-

All I knew when I rebooted TC– all was good-

My only problem is that airport utility stays open after script runs- I tried to add
delay 5
quit

at the end- but it left me with TC not able to backup again-

So is this the correct commant to close down airport utility???

As the airports are listed in alpha order I added a number of these:

key code 125

which is just a down arrow keystroke… Not sure how to do it any other way.

How would you modify this script to select a specific airport? I have searched high and low and no one has documented this and I have no experience writing scripts. Thanks david
