Save everyone.
I would like this:
When I turn on the computer, I would like to automatically open (after logging in) specific software and launch the full screen mode.
Now for this I use the keyboard commands: CMD + 1.

(My software is a playout of a video signal like quick time player)

thank you

Emanuele
 
Hey sawakuro,

try to add a Run Applescript action after you open the application:
Code:
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
        activate
        tell application "System Events" to tell process "QuickTime Player"
            set value of attribute "AXFullScreen" of window 1 to true
        end tell
    end tell
    return input
end run

This will make the window go full screen of the application QuickTime Player.
Obviosly this will fail if there is no window preset.
 
Thank you so much for the information. I explain better what I need.
First of all I need to act as a computer that commands others through the LAN network.

From a single computer (Apple mac of course) I have to open on the 8 different computers the same application (called MODO PLAYOUT) and launch it in full screen.
 
Hi Sawakuro,

Why don't you make 1 thread for this. :)
You could adjust the script above and put it in between osascript <<END and END and run it via remote desktop. Or ssh connection
Code:
osascript <<END
tell application "QuickTime Player"
       activate
       tell application "System Events" to tell process "QuickTime Player"
           set value of attribute "AXFullScreen" of window 1 to true
       end tell
   end tell
END
 
Excuse my lack of knowledge in this field. I need a little "for dummies" guide to do this. can you help me?
thnk you very much. I've haven't Remote Desktop
