it’s unfortunate to have to resort to this, but at times there’s no better solution. here’s 2 useful scripts to restart quicksilver and firefox easily with the os x automator.
restart firefox
do shell script "killall firefox-bin"
do shell script "open /applications/firefox.app"
restart quicksilver
do shell script "killall Quicksilver"
do shell script "open /Applications/Quicksilver.app"
to create an automator script, do the following:
- right-click on the desktop
- select “automator > create workflow…”
- paste the code above in the appropriate spot within the “run applescript” dialog
- save your script
there are much better automator tutorials available elsewhere, but this should get you started.
