Whenever I try to quit an application using AppleScript I get the following error
An error of type -9874 has occurred.
The AppleScript command which I am using is
tell application "app_name"
quit
end tell
Are you sure that “app_name” exists ? If it does exist, are you sure that it knows how to respond to AppleEvents (is “AppleEvent-aware”) ? Try the following test – launch
Activity Monitor(in/Applications/Utilities) and run this script:This works fine for me – if it works OK for you then the problem is probably with your specific application. If it doesn’t work for you then you have some kind of system-related problem – try it on a different Mac to verify ?
