Well, that works, but not quite the way I intended:
93:99: execution error: The variable result is not defined. (-2753)
Sure isn't; the error means result never gets set. I think this is cleaner:
repeat
delay 1
set theResult to ""
try
set theResult to do shell script "ps -p" & pid
end try
if theResult doesn't contain pid then exit repeat
end repeat
