So I'm making a short application in AppleScript Editor and I would like to know how to make it wait for 10 seconds before executing the next command. Thanks
Do you mean a delay between Terminal commands?
You could do this:
Code:
do shell script "blah blah blah"
delay 10
do shell script "blah blah blah"Just put your Terminal command inside the quotes.
If you want a terminal command to do the delay, that would be "sleep 10".
It all depends on how you want the delay implemented.

TERMINAL...
A dark and scary place for the non-tech.
And naming it using the same term as the one that means....inevitably leading to death, doesn't help!
