Applescript to quit an applescript

Hi all,
I'm trying to quit an applescript application (so should be an app, no?) through another applescript without results... even when i do a "killall myapp" from the terminal i have this error:  "No matching processes belonging to you were found"
How can this be?
The application i want to quit is as simple as this:
delay 400
do shell script "echo try>> /Users/caDesktop/dst.txt"
Thanks!

Your application isn't going to quit if told to quit (directly or via System Events) while it is in that long delay, since it won't get the message until the delay is completed.  The shell command killall will terminate the process, but an AppleScript application process does not have the name of the application - it has the name of the executable, which would be applet or droplet.

  • Help with applescript to quit certain processes by name?

    Hey, for anyone who knows how to program applescripts well, I could use some help with the script below.
    I'm very new to applescripting and I'm trying to write a script that would automatically quit up to 100 instances of the Google Chrome Renderer process.
    Thanks to google, I found a script similar to what I wanted, and after some tinkering I thought I had it just right. The thing is, if I only set the app_name to Google Chrome, it quits Chrome just fine, but when I try it like this, it doesn't receive any data from grep or awk.
    If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
    repeat 100 times
              set app_name to "Google Chrome Renderer"
              set the_pid to (do shell script "ps ax | grep " & (quoted form of app_name) & " | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'")
              set new_pid to first word of the_pid
              try
                        if new_pid is not "0" or "1" then do shell script ("kill -9 " & new_pid)
              end try
    end repeat

    try this:
    tell application "System Events"
              set procs to (every process whose name is "Google Chrome Renderer")
              if (count of procs) > 100 then
                        set max to 100
              else
                        set max to count of procs
              end if
              repeat with i from 1 to max
                        tell (item i of procs) to quit
              end repeat
    end tell

  • AppleScript Remote Event trying to Quit iCal from another computer

    I'm trying to write an AppleScript that will allow me to quit iCal on a particular user's account on my iMac from my MacBook, irrespective of if that user is the active user on the iMac.
    I did some research and determined that if I enabled Remote Apple Events on the iMac and used the syntax of
    on machine "eppc://[username:password]@[machine name]?uid[userID]"
    ...I should be able to issue the AppleScript command to quit the application.
    Here's the weird bit:
    If I use this syntax to :
    tell application "Address Book" of machine "eppc://[user:password}@i[machinename]/?uid=[uid#]" to quit
    ... then that works, for Address Book. However, if I copy and paste the same line, and change Address Book to iCal, it gives me "Unable to Authenticate User" as the error and it won't compile.
    Strange strange strange...
    [By the way, I didn't find an AppleScript forum... is there one? is there a better place to ask this question?]

    Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the same problem on one of several Macs in my office.
    This causes a User Authentication error even though the IP address, the user name, and password are correct:
    set remoteMac to "eppc://username:password@ipaddress"
    using terms from application "Finder"
    tell application "Finder" of machine remoteMac
    activate
    end tell
    end using terms from
    However, this works fine using the same IP address, user name, and password.
    set remoteMac to "eppc://username:password@ipaddress"
    using terms from application "Transmit"
    tell application "Transmit" of machine remoteMac
    activate
    end tell
    end using terms from

  • How to quit an AppleScript programmatically?

    I have an applescript that is continually running. Every 60 seconds it opens an application which runs certain processes.
    My Problem is that while the applescript is running the computer is not able to restart or shutdown. So I need to capture the shutdown command or the restart command within my applescript so as to stop it and quit.
    Any ideas?
    My Applescript:
    <pre>
    tell application "Finder"
    repeat until theCount > 200
    activate
    open application file "FullScreenWindow.app" of folder "TimeSheetDaemon" of startup disk
    delay 14400 -- son segundos
    end repeat
    end tell
    </pre>
    Thanks

    Hi
    You need to use quit and idle handlers in a stay-open application:
    --begin script
    on idle
    tell application "Finder" to open application file "FullScreenWindow.app" of folder "TimeSheetDaemon" of startup disk
    return 14400
    end idle
    on quit
    continue quit
    end quit
    --end script
    This way there's no need for an endless repeat loop, and the script app gracefully handles the quit event sent to it by shutdown, restart or logout.
    Hope this helps,
    H

  • Ensure AppleScript App Quits

    I have an AppleScript saved as a run only app which I call every hour from launchd.
    Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally something causes the app not to quit when it's done its thing.  This means that next time an error is thrown and the process does not run (so it fails until I force quit the app).
    I have tried wrapping the whole script in a try...with timeout...end timeout...on error return...end try structure but that makes no difference.
    The core of the script is a run shell script that calls a perl script which in turn gets data from a web site.  I have tried nesting a try...on errror...end try around this that simply sets the content of the variable that should be populated from the script in the event that any error occurs.
    The final part of the script is opening a [text] file and inserting a few lines at the top.  Again I have tried wrapping this in a try...on error return...end try stricture.
    None of these efforts seems to have any effect.  However, I can't get the script to fail when I run it from the ApplScript Editor.
    Would I be better to use osascript to call a script rather than the app, or am I doing something more fundamental wrong?

    I'm not trying to be coy either, but I don't see that posting the whole script is going to help particularly because the perl script uses WWW::Mechanize to get data from a website where I have to provide user credentials - hence, it will not be possible to run it without those credentials.
    The expectation is that I will get approximately ten lines of data back (which I put into a local variable).  I then use an offset check to determine whether a particular string is present.  If it is present, I then go on to compose a message (using Messages) to send to myself.
    Regardless of the content, I open a local text file and insert the web response at the beginning of the file (as an activity log).  The file is then closed for access and that's it.
    I have only once seen an error when I ran the script from the AS Editor and this seemed to indicate a problem with the site's availability - so when Mechanize couldn't find any identifiable data, it threw an error.
    The app is not saved as stay open, but it does.  All I can say for certain is that the log file does not get written to, so I suspect that the problem lies with the perl script.  It is for that reason that I wrapped it in a try...with timeout structure.  (My understanding of the timeout, is that if script execution fails to complete within the timeout an error will be thrown, so this is picked-up by the try...on error.  That understanding may be wrong.)
    So, after all that, here is the script [with a single hard-coded address obscured for privacy]:
    try
              set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as alias
              set FlightCheckLog to (desktopPath as text) & "FlightCheckLog.txt"
              set targetList to {"Sep-7", "Sep-8", "Sep-9", "Sep-10"}
              tell application "Messages"
                        set theBuddy to buddy id "<OBSCURED>"
              end tell
              set messageSent to false
              try
                        with timeout of 300 seconds
                                  set theFlights to do shell script "~/Documents/perl/FilghtCheck.pl -x -c J -d 2013-09-07 ATH-LHR"
                        end timeout
              on error
                        set theFlights to ""
              end try
              repeat with theDate in targetList
                        set theOffset to (offset of theDate in theFlights)
                        if theOffset is not 0 then
                                  set theFlight to text (theOffset - 5) thru end of theFlights
                                  set theReturn to (offset of return in theFlight)
                                  set theFlight to text 1 thru (theReturn - 1) of theFlight
                                  tell application "Messages"
      send theFlight to theBuddy
                                            set messageSent to true
                                  end tell
                        end if
              end repeat
              try
                        set theFile to open for access FlightCheckLog with write permission
      get eof theFile
                        if result > 0 then
                                  set fileText to read theFile
      set eof theFile to 0
                        else

  • AppleScript Newbie - Display dialog box when quitting an application

    Hello.
    I was wondering if it's possible to write a script that displays a dialog box (in this case one saying "BACK UP!!!!") everytime i quit Final Draft.
    Thanks.
    F.

    A regular AppleScript does not have the ability to get system notifications, so you would have to do something like have the script continually check (poll) for applications that are running.  A Cocoa-AppleScript does have the ability to do Cocoa-y stuff such as register for system notifications, so you can create a new applet (AppleScript Editor > File > New from Template > Cocoa-AppleScript Applet), paste in the following, and save it as an application (uncheck the option to show the startup screen):
    property theApps : {"Final Draft"} -- a list of applications to watch for
    on run -- example
      # add observers for workspace notifications
      tell current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace's notificationCenter
        addObserver_selector_name_object_(me, "appQuit:", current application's NSWorkspaceDidTerminateApplicationNotification, missing value)
      end tell
      -- tell application "Final Draft" to activate
    end run
    on appQuit_(aNotification) -- an application quit
      # aNotification's userInfo record contains an NSRunningApplication instance that we can get properties from
      set theApplication to (aNotification's userInfo's NSWorkspaceApplicationKey's localizedName()) as text
      if theApplication is in theApps then
      tell current application -- me
        beep 3
        activate -- make sure dialog comes to front
        display dialog "BACK UP!!!!" with title "Final Draft quit notice" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
        quit
      end tell
      end if
    end appQuit_
    When the application is run it will sit there and receive notifications when other applications quit, and checks to see if it was the application you want.

  • Unexpected Quits when running AppleScript

    Greetings,
    As of late, I've been experiencing the Unexpected Quit error every time I run any AppleScript app or even after closing the AppleScript Editor. I have a backup script that runs every night to another hard drive. A very basic script that simply does various rsyncs. In the morning, I notice that there is always an "Unexpected Quit" message on the screen.
    Further investigation reveals that that script, and any other that I test, actually does run but seems to crash when closing the script. Same thing when I'm in the editor. I can run the script from within the editor just fine, then when I close the editor, I get the same error.
    This all seemed to happen shortly after I installed the latest mouse drivers for my Logitech mouse.
    If anyone has any suggests, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Below are more details on the error:

  • So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    What Airplane Mode program? To stop a running program launch Activity Monitor (in utilities folder) and quit the program from there. To remove the program drag it to the trash or better use the uninstaller that should have come with it.

  • Applescript app won't quit

    I need a little help.  I have written an AppleScript app that "touches" one of my external drives every 55 seconds to keep it from spinning down.  However, this app won't quit when I depress command-Q ... even though I have included an "on quit" handler.  Can anyone suggest what I need to change to have this app respond properly to command-Q?  Here's the script:
    with timeout of 99999999 seconds
              tell application "Finder"
      activate
                        repeat
           do shell script "touch -a /Volumes/TimeMachine/.TemporaryItems"
           delay 55
                        end repeat
              end tell
    end timeout
    on quit
           continue quit
    end quit

    AppleScript is not multi-threaded, so the application will never get the quit message because the repeat loop never finishes.  Sitting in a continual repeat loop is not the way to go since it blocks the user interface - instead, resave your application with the option to stay open, and use the idle handler (note that the Finder is not needed for the do shell script command):
    on idle
      do shell script "touch -a /Volumes/TimeMachine/.TemporaryItems"
      return 55
    end idle

  • Need applescript help, quit application upon sleep

    I have never worked with applescript before, so I am completely lost.  I have a program that does not like to like to be open when the computer goes to sleep.  I usually remember to close the app, but sometimes I forget and get myself in trouble.  If I do forget, very bad things can happen to the database of the program, so it is imperative that it is closed.
    I am hoping there is an applescript that will quit the application if I put my laptop to sleep, usually by closing the lid.  I don't want to trigger the sleep with the applescript, just something that will see that the computer is going to sleep and quit the application before it happens.
    Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about doing it?
    Thanks,
    Brandon

  • Applescript quit infinite looping when restart/logout/shutdown

    recently I have a infinite looping applescript, and I save the is script as a "app", and running it on my macbook.
    my problem was when every time I want to restart the OS, it keep saying my app can't be quit, and I have to force quit.
    Anyway to write the script auto detect the shutdown/logout and restart, so there I can use the "quit" handle.
    on quit
      continue quit
    end quit
    repeat
    end repeat

    There exists, however, a very inelegant solution: using two stay-open apps at the same time, as follows:
    App_1
    global flag
    set flag to false
    on quit
          set flag to true
    end quit
    repeat
          if flag then exit repeat
    end repeat
    continue quit
    App_2
    on quit
          try
                tell application "System Events"
                      set frontmost of process "App_1" to true
                      delay 1
                      keystroke "q" using {command down}
                end tell
                delay 1
          end try
          continue quit
    end quit
    I'm sure though someone else will find a very simple and elegant solution. 

  • Quit AppleScript App

    Hello, I am creating an AppleScript app and have a button for quitting the app. What is the script so I can quit my app?
    Thanks

    In your button handler you can use a statement such as:
      tell me to quit -- OK
        -- or --
      current application's NSApp's terminate() -- better
    If there isn't anything else that your button handler is doing, you can also just connect it to the application's terminate action (this will work the same as selecting the quit menu item) - in IB, select the Application object, look in the Connection Inspector for the terminate: action, and drag a connection to the button.

  • Key binding to quit an applescript app as an alternative to 'Force Quit'

    Hello,
    I have an AppleScript App which is running for a hour. It is basically a GUI scripting.
    If I want to quit the app in between, I am unable to use 'Force Quit' as the mouse/key board is extensively used by the app.
    I wish to know some alternatives for this issue.
    note:
    Is there anyway I can bind some key combination and once it is pressed, the app should quit?

    +Any suggestions to handle this issue?+
    You can quit a script that is saved as an 'application bundle' with another script.
    Open the 'application bundle' and drag the 'applet' file between the quotes...
    tell application "" to quit
    and you will get this, but with a different path.
    tell application "/Users/tom/Login Items/ReniceR.app/Contents/MacOS/applet" to quit

  • Applescript to quit a daemon?

    So, now and then I need to quit/kill/restart a daemon. Well, I use other Applescripts to quit applications, but apparently, quitting a daemon is not the same. Both show up in the Activity Monitor, but trying to apply a quit and app type script to a "daemon" does not work. I like to use an applescript as then I can just click it and it runs versus having to open Activity Monitor, searching for the daemon, selecting and quitting. 1 click versus like 5 clicks.
    For example, I use this to quit an app..
    tell application "Dock" to quit
    but trying to put in a daemon service in place of "Dock" app does not work becuase this script is looking for an "application"
    So, does anyone know of a simple script just like this that can be written to quit a daemon?

    Just killing a daemon will not necessarily restart it.  How is the daemon started in the first place? It would also help if you told us which daemon you are referring to here.
    In OS X background processes like this are controlled using launchd/launchctl. It would be best if you worked within that system.
    So just killing the process isn;t the answer unless you do not what it started up again.
    it is one for an app that unless the daemon is restarted a portion of the visual monitor displayed in the apple menu will not work.
    Interesting, could you share the name of this program and what ir does ?
    Just like I run a 1 click applescript to kill my dock to regain control of my widgets (as that is an issues no one has ever been able to solve, but a different issue posted about elsewhere).
    What issue is this?
    BTW what version of the OS are you running that might also affect the answer.
    regards

  • AppleScript won't quit

    I'm trying to build an AppleScript that will connect to a VPN, and I've come up with the following:
    tell application "System Events"
              tell current location of network preferences
                        set VPNservice to service "OverplayVPN" -- name of the VPN service
                        if exists VPNservice then connect VPNservice
                        set isConnected to connected of current configuration of VPNservice
                        repeat while isConnected is false
                                  delay 2
                                  set isConnected to connected of current configuration of VPNservice
                        end repeat
                        if isConnected then
                                  tell application "Finder"
                                            display dialog "VPN connected"
                                  end tell
                        end if
              end tell
    end tell
    quit
    It seems to work well. I'm running the .app file from "Login Items" within "Users and Groups".
    My problem is, that I can't get the application to quit. Whenever I close my computer I have to Force Quit the script in order to shut down my Macbook Pro.
    Any idea why the script does not quit by itself (after I've responded to the dialog box)?
    Any idea why a normal "Shut Down" isn't able to quit the script?

    Remove the 'quit' statement at the end. It isn't needed - a script will automatically quit when the last statement executes.

  • Applescript to quit an application

    I have a very simple Applescript written and saved as an application to quit GoodSync, a syncing program.  When I run the script from within applescript the application quits.  When I run the application as a stand alone it fires but does not quit the application.
    any ideas?
    tell application "GoodSync"
      quit
    end tell
    The applicaton does not ask to save anything on quit.
    I have used automator to the same end and it works as a stand alone application.
    Eager to learn,
    Thanks in advance,
    Debbie

    Frank,
    The Shell works but sends back a bunch of errors. 
    tell application "System Events"
      get unix id of every process whose name = "GoodSync"
      --> {4370}
      do shell script "kill -9 4370"
      --> error number -1708
      «event ascrgdut»
      --> error number -1708
      do shell script "kill -9 4370"
      --> error number -10004
    end tell
    tell current application
      do shell script "kill -9 4370"
      --> ""
    end tell
    Result:
    I am not familiar enough with the coding and errors of AppleScript to determine if I need to worry.  The computer also told me that my external hard drive was not ejected properly not long after I ran this script.
    Thank you again,
    Debbie
