This script is to open microsoft apps and then quit after 3 seconds
tell application "Finder"
set myFolder to ((startup disk as text) & "Applications:Microsoft Office 2011") as alias
set myFiles to (every item of myFolder) as alias list
open myFiles
end tell
delay 3
tell application "System Events" to set the visible of every process to true
set white_list to {"Finder"}
try
tell application "Finder"
set process_list to the name of every process whose visible is true
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to (number of items in process_list)
set this_process to item i of the process_list
if this_process is not in white_list then
tell application this_process
quit
end tell
end if
end repeat
on error
tell the current application to display dialog "An error has occurred!" & return & "This script will now quit" buttons {"Quit"} default button 1 with icon 0
end try
end tell
but when I run the script, it stops after this. (EDIT) it seems to close every app besides the microsoft applications
tell application "Finder"
set myFolder to ((startup disk as text) & "Applications:Microsoft Office 2011") as alias
set myFiles to (every item of myFolder) as alias list
open myFiles
Both opening and closing the applications scripts work great separately but I don't seem to know how to join them. If anyone knows why this is happening, that would be great. Thanks
