My script repeats a bash file every thirty minutes, but I also have my iMac scheduled to restart everyday.
The restart isn't able to kill the script so it's stuck.
How can I alter the script to allow it to be killed for restart? I tried adding the suggested on quit but Control-Q doesn't even work.
#!/bin/bash
repeat
do shell script "bash /Users/robby/.homebridge/hbrestart.sh"
delay 1800
end repeat
on quit
continue quit
end quit

That's how I got to the script in the first place. I know, I know, you didn't think to ask that, but there you go.
I use Lingon:

There are other exampkes around but, as stated, I use Lingon.
ASC is munging and munching links again today, so please excuse the above work-around.

Thanks.
Invoke that shell script with periodic or cron, or preferably with launchd, and not that AppleScript wrapper.
Or fix whatever is (not) happening that needs re-poking every half hour, of course.
Fortunately for you, the '#' symbol is also a comment in AppleScript as otherwise #!/bin/bash would cause the script to fail as it would not be valid AppleScript. I agree with MrHoffman.
Thank you so much. I'll dig into it.
Have a great day.
