Now, activating any given app is easy. What I don't know is how to
get a list of the running apps and randomly choose one to activate.
tell application "System Events"
set the_apps to application processes
set random_app to item (random number from 1 to length of the_apps)
of the_apps
set frontmost of random_app to true
end tell
note the frontmost property is listed as read-only, but it seems to be
modifiable.. also consider testing for faceless background, since
these can't come to front (though there is no error when i try)
This seems to work:
tell application "System Events"
set the_apps to every application process whose visible is true
set random_app to some item of the_apps
set frontmost of random_app to true
end tell
