Still looking at this. But it looks like the menu does not report back on itself for the next item to be clicked. Running these two lines works but is slow. tell application "System Events" to tell process "SystemUIServer" to click (first menu bar item of menu bar 1 whose description is "Keychain menu extra") tell application "System Events" to click (menu item "Lock Screen" of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "SystemUIServer")
