slack_watcher.applescript

## Slack watcher - makes sure you only have Slack running if you should to avoid being distracted
## by Patrick Brinich-Langois, Ben Kuhn, and Peter Wildeford
## To install: (1) save this script as `~/bin/slack_watcher.applescript`.
## (2) Use `crontab -e` and add `*/22 * * * * osascript $HOME/bin/slack_watcher.applescript` to your crontab
## (this will run every 22 minutes while Slack is open - Slack will be closed if you press `No`)
