Hi Daniel,
Thanks! I have found a better approach though, IMHO. I pass the path to the
application bundle and also the process ID as two args to the script ($1,
$2). In result, I make sure that exactly the calling process is shut down,
and exactly the same executable is relaunched. The only "problem" that
remains is that if more instances of the same bundle with the same path are
already launched, a new instance is not created, but activated an existing
one. Though I believe, this behavior is perfectly valid, because if one
clicks the bundle in Finder, the same thing happens.
Here is my code:
i="10"
while [ $i -gt 0 ]
do
sleep 1
is_running=$(osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to exists
(process 1 whose unix id is '$2')')
echo "Waiting for shutdown: " $is_running
if [ "$is_running" = "false" ]; then
i="0"
else
i=$(($i - 1))
fi
done
# relaunch the app
osascript -e 'tell application "'"$1"'" to activate'
