Launch app when another app is closed

Not sure I follow. I changed the script to the one below and ran as an AppleScript, got error below

tell application "Finder"

set AppList : {“MoneyDance”, “TextEdit”}

set runningApps to name of application processes as list

set ejectDisk to true

repeat with anApp in AppList

if runningApps contains anApp then set ejectDisk to false

end repeat

if ejectDisk then

if exists disk "tom" then eject disk "tom"

end if

end tell

Got syntax error when running the script

Just would like to know if this is correct per your suggestion, as it does not run as an AppleScript or as AppleScript within Shortcuts.

Thanks

tell application "Finder"

set AppList to {“MoneyDance”, “TextEdit”}

set runningApps to name of application processes as list

set ejectDisk to true

repeat with anApp in AppList

if runningApps contains anApp then set ejectDisk to false

end repeat

if ejectDisk then

if exists disk "tom" then eject disk "tom"

end if

end tell

I want to click the red traffic light in Moneydance (this removes Moneydance from the dock) and have Safari launch automatically

I have made the script into an AppleScript without Automator if that helps.

Just would like the closing of Moneydance to trigger the AppleScript if possible.

As always

Thanks

Really I just would like to know if simply quitting one app could set off a particular AppleScript.

I guess I can't as you described.

I want to stop the script if Moneydance is running. So, it would not proceed to eject the .dmg (tom).

Therefore, Moneydance would be running and "tom" would NOT be ejected.

In addition to my previous comment, if a file is open when I eject "tom", I get a warning that the file is in use. This does not happen if a Moneydance file is in use.

I am not sure how to do that specifically, and was hoping you or some other scriptor could help me out with the code that I previously posted.

The only issue is that Apple's app Shortcuts won't accept this script without the error below.

Works perfectly otherwise.

FYI

I changed:

set AppList : {“MoneyDance”, “TextEdit”}

to

set AppList to {“MoneyDance”, “TextEdit”}

Neither AppleScript alone or Shortcuts (with AppleScript) will run with this change.
