Check if window is open

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

#1

I would like to check if a program is running,
if not, launch (which automatically opens a new window)
if running, then is there an open window
if not, open window
if open window, use window

Here’s my script, but it fails if a window is not open.


tell application "Terminal"
	launch
	repeat with theWindow in window 1
		do script "rsync -avz -e ..." in theWindow
		do script "passwd" in theWindow
		do script "exit" in theWindow
	end repeat
end tell
#2

Something like this?

tell application "System Events"
	if "Terminal" is not in name of processes then launch application "Terminal"
	tell process "Terminal"
		set frontmost to true
		if (count windows) is 0 then keystroke "n" using command down
	end tell
end tell
tell application "Terminal" to tell window 1
	do script "rsync -avz -e ..." in it
	do script "passwd" in it
	do script "exit" in it
end tell
