I have a set up for live shows using Ableton and Reason. I typically open the Ableton file, wait until it loads and then open Reason. The reason for this is because Reason acts as a slave to Ableton, so Ableton must finish loading before Reason starts.
I tried this (with single and double ampersands), but it wants to open both of them at the same time.
open "~/first_file.als" & open "~/second_file.rns"
If this can be done with AppleScript instead, I'd be willing to do that. I'm using Alfred to run the command.
Thanks!

switch will make it block until the application is quit again. I can only think of manual sleep timers here.
