try set logindetails to (do shell script "curl google.com") on error display dialog "Unable to connect." quit end try When I put my network down, it gives me an error saying "unable to resolve host" and it never quits the application rather it stays in the background.
Is there a proper way to quit the application when unable to connect to the server or any other command to force quit or suppress and continue.
The correct way to end a running script is to use return:
try set logindetails to (do shell script "curl google.com") on error display dialog "Unable to connect." return end try 
curl actually returning? Try adding --max-time 15 to the curl command to time out the connection after 15 sec.curl is getting stuck at this point waiting for the response and the application gets stuck here. I then have to force quit. I want to continue at this point when the connection with server breaks. I tried --max-time 15 but it doesn't after a succesful connection and then when connection breaks and this app runs in the background with on idle.set command in a with timeout block – however, it would be much easier to find a solution if you posted your actual code (I’m guessing you are not actually polling Google for login credentials); just obfuscate sensitive data like passwords or such, please.-max -time interval. curl --max-time 5 -d \"username=" & loginusername & " \" " & domain & "/playlists.php. Yes i was not using google to pull data. This line of code is the real code. Thanks.I use error number -128:
try set logindetails to (do shell script "curl google.com") on error display dialog "Unable to connect." error number -128 end try
