Hey Bob,
At 18:18 -0700 01/03/2004, Robert Poland wrought:
Need a way to tell if "Install Script Menu" has been run. These both are
menu bar items that show up visually but I haven't been able to test
them with a script.
tell application "System Events"
set flag to exists of process "WeatherPopApp"
end tell
There are all kinds of ways to filter processes
tell application "System Events"
processes
end tell
tell application "System Events"
processes whose name contains "script"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
processes whose creator type is "asDB" -- Script Debugger
end tell
tell application "System Events"
file type of every process
end tell
tell application "System Events"
creator type of every process
end tell
Now, on to the Script Menu. WeatherPop runs as a process, but the Script
Menu is a menu extra. It doesn't show up as a process on my machine
after I install it. I looked in the activity monitor, I used the shell
script "ps", but I didn't find it anywhere.
This requires the Satimage osax:
http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/downloads_osaxen.html
set theText to do shell script "ps -acwwx"
try
set findIt1 to find text ".*menu.*" in theText with regexp and string
result without case sensitive
on error
set findIt1 to false
end try
--> 368 ?? S 0:28.12 WeatherMenu
try
set findIt2 to find text ".*script.*" in theText with regexp and
string result without case sensitive
on error
set findIt2 to false
end try
--> 369 ?? S 0:04.47 FastScripts
Chris
