On OS X 10.4.8, Rev 2.8 gm3. I need to launch an external app
(installer) from my Rev standalone. I need my standalone to wait for
the app to close before continuing. What's the best way to do this?
I've tried several different things including using the launch
command, using the shell() function, and using the "open application"
command via AppleScript. Nothing seems to work. My standalone
continues on immediately following the code to open the external app.
Is there some other way? Or will it be necessary to just sit in a
repeat loop, watching for the application to quit. Any help is
appreciated.
I think you have already solved your problem, but here is the handler
I use on OS X to determine whether an application is running:
function isAppRunning pAppName
put "tell application " & quote & "System Events" & quote & cr into tScript
put "return (exists application process " & quote & pAppname & quote
& ")" & cr after tScript
put "end tell" after tScript
do tScript as AppleScript
return the result
end isAppRunning
(watch for line-wraps)
Cheers,
Sarah
