问题 I have a script written in JavaScript which needs to run one small piece of AppleScript (to achieve some functionality I've been unable to implement due to a number of factors natively in JS). It should be able to take a single string argument, and is pretty much a tell-endtell one liner. Is it possible to assemble this nanoprogramme as a string in JavaScript then pass the string to the AppleScript environment for execution, and how would that be done? There's plenty of explanations online

How to check in AppleScript if an app is running, without launching it - via osascript utility

Consider the following AppleScript: on is_running(appName) tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName end is_running set safRunning to is_running("Safari") if safRunning then tell application "Safari" -- Stuff I only want executed if Safari is running goes here. end tell return "Running" else return "Not running" end if The problem: when I run this via the osascript command line utility, if Safari is not running, it gets launched and the script reports "Running". This is not the behaviour I desire or would expect. Note that it works as desired/expected when run

问题 I'm trying to make this script work. It's a Bash script that is meant to take some variables, put them together and use the result to send an AppleScript command. Manually pasting the string echoed from the variable to_osa behind osascript -e to the terminal works as I want and expect it to. But when I try to combine the command osascript -e and the string to_osa , it does not work.

osascript using bash variable with a space

问题 I am using osascript in Bash to display a message in Notification Center (Mac OS X) via Apple Script. I am trying to pass a text variable from Bash to the script. For a variable without spaces, this works just fine, but not for one with spaces: Defining var1=\"Hello\" var2=\"Hello World\" and using osascript -e \'display notification \"\'$var1\'\"\' works, but using osascript -e \'display notification \"\'$var2\'\"\' yields syntax error: Expected string but found end of script.
