Working in OSX...
The endWatchFolder command won't work because there is an active modal dialog open. AE Scripts can't be initiated while in Watch Folder mode. I'm thinking an Applescript UI Element type script might do it but I'm a bit of a scripting-Noob and am getting nowhere. Something that would simulate clicking the Cancel button would do it. My ultimate goal is a script that I can run on all of the machines on my render farm via Remote Desktop that will end Watch Folder mode and close the app. Currently I have to access each machine with Remote Desktop, click the cancel button and Quit AE. It gets tedious with 15 machines.
Script to stop Watch Folder
