Hello
I'd like to be able to start/open & stop / close an application via indigo on my mac.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Open an application from a trigger in Indigo

Several options to launch an application - probably the easiest is to use the Server Actions->Script and File Actions->Open File action - just point it to the app you want to launch (/full/path/to/SomeApp.app).

Stopping an app is a bit harder - if the app is a Mac app, you can try to quit it with a simple embedded AppleScript:

Code: Select all
tell application "SomeApp" to quit
