Application Sleeper

Published in: AppleScript 

When I'm watching a movie on my computer, I get tired of Twitterrific popping up and obscuring my view. And I got really tired of quitting the app and forgetting to open it up again. So I wrote this little script that quits the app for me and opens it automatically some time later.

This isn't perfect; the script will be running the whole time in between quit and relaunch, but without getting into launchd or atrun, this works just fine.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. set appName to "Twitterrific"
  2.  
  3. display dialog "How many minutes should I sleep?" default answer "60"
  4. set waitFor to (text returned of result as number) * 60
  5.  
  6. tell application appName to quit
  7. delay waitFor
  8. tell application appName to activate
