repeat command out of place?

hey guys,

wrote script know close, not in right place. want script continously check see if program "musicsource_hd.osx" still running. once isn't, want quicktime player quit. doing wrong?

code:

tell application "system events"  	set isrunning ((application processes (name equal "musicsource_hd.osx")) count)  end tell  repeat until isrunning 0  	if isrunning greater 0  	else  		tell application "quicktime player" quit  	end if  end repeat

 

code:

  tell application "system events"  	set isrunning ((application processes (name equal "musicsource_hd.osx")) count)  end tell  repeat until isrunning 0  tell application "system events"  	set isrunning ((application processes (name equal "musicsource_hd.osx")) count)  end tell  	if isrunning less 1  		tell application "quicktime player" quit  	end if  end repeat

i modified enter loop (this off top of head, not @ mac) if musicsource_hd.osx running. if when script starts, tell quicktime quit once program no longer running. without check quit quicktime whenever script run, if musicsource_hd.osx never running.

might want put delay in repeat loop happens once every 5 seconds or so. otherwise tight loop eating cpu time (even if not intensive).
