How do I tell System Events to recheck until the process is not running?

You can do something like this:

tell application "System Events"
if exists (process 1 whose name is "Tex-Edit Plus") then
-- Do your thing.
set x to true
end if
end tell


This is ~ 3/100 sec faster on my machine (Dual 867 G4).

tell application "System Events"
set l to (name of processes) as string
end tell

if l contains "Tex-Edit Plus" then
-- Do your thing
set x to true
end if
