Using System Events, processes works fine. I was playing around with the new 'running' property introduced with Leopard.

The script is not corrupt, or I should say writing it again and saving anew still results in the behavior I described.

Rebooting doesn't help either. It seems to be the one line of script I posted.

Every other AppleScript I have is still working properly so I don't think it is a system issue either.

This form behaves as expected OMM (Intel/Mac OS X 10.5.2):

if (application "Safari" is running) then

set is_running to true

else

run script "tell application \"Safari\" to activate"

end if

as does this:

if not (application "Safari" is running) then

run script "tell application \"Safari\" to activate"

end if

Puzzling

is right!
