Hey all,  
  
  
  
I know that this dosen’t directly deal with Plex, but I hope that someone can help me anyway 🙂  
  
  
  
I’m using EyeTV and Plex and I have a dream about getting a script for EyeTV, that shutdown my Mac after end recording and exporting, unless Plex is running.  
  
  
  
Does anyone has a script like that or can anyone maybe build one? This could be really fantastic!  
  
  
  
  
  
Btw, I did ask on the forum of EyeTV. You can see the thread here: [http://forums.elgato.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=1045&p=41227#p41227](http://forums.elgato.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=1045&p=41227#p41227) but I can’t get it to work :S

This should get you going

```auto

<br />
tell application "System Events" to set theCount to the count of (processes whose name is "Plex")<br />
if theCount = 0 then<br />
	-- do something because it's not running<br />
else<br />
	-- do nothing<br />
end if<br />

```
