Applescript errors after sleeping for 5 minutes
So I have a script, which checks to see if an application is running, sleeps for a few minutes and then checks again before continuing it's program. For the sleep, I'm using
"do shell script 'sleep 300'"
If I set the sleep value for anything less than 300 (5 minutes) the scrip executes flawlessly every time. If I set the sleep value for 5 minutes (my ideal value) it errors out. What's weird is that if I put in some dialog box displays at various checkpoints after the sleep, it executes without problem. Is there something important about 5 minute intervals in AppleScript that would be causing this?
