Any way to start a program many times?

[yarjarrar]

This is a ticklish question, but is there any way to open an application and close it, open it. so on, many times. So the application gets started like 100 times in a minute. Is that possible or am I nuts to think there's a way to do that?

Yeah, thats what terminal was made for!

here is a quick script I just wrote that will open and then kill Safari 100 times

#!/bin/bash

for I in {1..100}
do

/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

sleep 10

killall Safari

done

May I ask why do you have to do that?

#!/bin/bash

for I in {1..100}
do
        open /Applications/Safari.app
        sleep 3
        killall Safari
done

You need an & at the end of your Safari invocation.

What's the use of opening and close a app for so many times

It could be used to check performance I suppose... benchmarking, etc.
