Is there some way to do something with an application if it is running,
and do nothing if it is not? Basically, I want to do something like
this
if is_running("iTunes") then
tell application "iTunes"
-- do something here
end
else
display dialog "iTunes not running"
end
but not have iTunes start if it wasn't running in the first place!
(is_running() is always true in the code above.) Unfortunately, if
seems that if "tell application" appears in a script at all, it seems
to start the named program running.
Thanks,
Michael
