Controlling Rebound! with AppleScript

AppleScript offers Mac users a powerful way to automate tasks and share information. Your scripts can control the status of Rebound!'s system and application crash detection. For example, you can use this to turn crash detection off during backups.

Rebound! is based on our PowerKey background software, so to control Rebound!, place a tell block in your script as follows:

Mac OS X
   tell application "PowerKey Daemon"
      . . .
   end tell

Mac OS 8.6-9.x
   tell application "PowerKey Extension"
      . . .
   end tell

You can then place scripting commands (as described below) inside this block.
