I'm a PHP/web developer with a UNIX background, trying to figure out a
clean way to integrate remote Apple Events without learning a new
programming language (Ruby, Python, Objective C). I'm rusty in JS but
I think I could get the hang of this. Before I waste a bunch of time,
could I eventually use this to do an AppleScript equivalent of :

tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://192.168.1.2"
sleep
end tell

? If not I guess I'll have to barrow on my PHP knowledge to learn Perl
well enough to use Mac::Glue. Thanks in advance for the heads up!
Sorry if I missed this in the documentation.

PPC (in this case Program-to-Program Communication, not PowerPC) is an
Apple System 7-era tech. It's for enabling AppleEvents-over-the-network.

JSTalk rides on Distributed Objects, NeXT's tech. The two are separate
and don't interoperate. Sorry :-(
