Using /usr/bin/osascript
JS to automate my task, struggling with a check if process is already running or not:
const app = Application.currentApplication()
app.includeStandardAdditions = true
function run(args) {
const query = args[0]
let response = 'Wrong command passed'
if (query === 'on') { // need to check if process named "asdf" is already running
response = 'Process turned ON'
} else if (query === 'off') { // need to check if process named "asdf" is already running
response = 'Process turned OFF'
}
return response
}
JXA documentation could be better, i want to implement a check in an if construction. I've tried to make it using:
const se = Application('System Events')
const process = se.processes.byName('processname')
But it has no effect.
