I'm trying to create an Applescript using a similar algorithm that I used
for the previous script I made for Windows. I'm sort of walking in the dark
with Apple script. I want to check if a file exists, then rename it if it
does, or rename a different file if it doesn't. Here's what I have so far,
I'm sure it won't work, but it should show you what I'm trying to do.

FileExists

if active = "true" then

tell appliation "Finder"

set theFile to (desktop as text) &
"MySSD!/System/Library/Extensions/file.kext" as alias

set the name of theFile to "MySSD!/System/Library/Extensions/file.waskext"

set theFile to (desktop as text) &
"MySSD!/Library/LaunchDaemons/file.plist" as alias

set the name of theFile to "MySSD!/Library/LaunchDaemons/file.wasplist"

end tell


else


tell appliation "Finder"

set theFile to (desktop as text) &
"MySSD!/System/Library/Extensions/file.waskext" as alias

set the name of theFile to "MySSD!/System/Library/Extensions/file.kext"

set theFile to (desktop as text) &
"MySSD!/Library/LaunchDaemons/file.wasplist" as alias

set the name of theFile to "MySSD!/Library/LaunchDaemons/file.plist"

end if



on FileExists(System/Library/Extensions/file.kext) -- (active) as Boolean

    tell application "System Events"

        if exists file theFile then

            return true

        else

            return false

        end if

    end tell

end FileExists
