Hi there, I'm mostly a newbie to Applescript. I was hoping this would be a
totally easy question for someone on this list.
Microsoft Entourage often "hangs" (crashing, unresponsive except for rainbow
ball rolling perpetually, listed as "not responding" in the Force Quit
Applications menu when I bring that up manually) on me. I'd prefer it stay
active more or less perpetually whenever my computer is on, to periodically
check for new email. (I'm not sure why this is happening, perhaps I need to
upgrade to the new version of Office, perhaps my Entourage database is too
large . . . but those are other questions I'll probably investigate another
time. And no, for a couple of work-related reasons I can't use Apple's Mail
at this time.)
In the meantime, I was wondering if I could make a little self-contained
Applescript app to periodically check to see if Entourage is running, and
then if not (if it "hung"), force quit that application, then reboot it.
???
Any responses appreciated!
