Hi List!
I want to manage the users of a Mac, and stop
them from using unauthorized applications
during work time (between 09:00 and 17:00).
But I want to allow them to use these apps after work time.
I will declare a variable containning a list of
forbiden applications, and check time of
current date (if greater than 09:00 or smaller
than 17:00), check what apps are open, and kill
the app if necessary.
My difficulty is regarding the "if" sintax for current date.
Could you comment my lines bellow? Are they currect?
Thank you,

set CurrentTime to time of (current date)
if CurrentTime > 32400 and CurrentTime < 61200 then
beep -- do something, kill whatever
end if
Just change the "and" into an "or".
Seems it would be more logical. ;-)
Then you could just substitute the whole thing
with the constant "True" because it will always
come out "True" if you use "or".
Now, for the code's legibility (you know, some
months later), you could perhaps change "32400"
into "9 * hours" and "61200" into "17 * hours"
as well.
