hi r,

you’ve got to enclose what you don’t want to run in the if block. like this:


tell application "System Events" to get name of current user
set shortName to result

if shortName contains "test" then
	quit
else
	tell application "System Events" to get full name of current user
	set longName to result
	
	do shell script "sudo scutil --set LocalHostName " & quoted form of shortName user name "Admin" password "password" with administrator privileges
	
	do shell script "sudo scutil --set ComputerName " & quoted form of longName user name "Admin" password "password" with administrator privileges
end if

does that work better for you?
