Applescript:

tell application "System Events" to set isRunning to process "Safari" exists
tell application "Safari"
   if isRunning then
       quit
       delay 0.5
   end if
   activate
end tell

Still less complicated

Applescript:

tell application "Safari"
   if it is running then
       quit
       delay 0.5
       launch
   end if
   activate
end tell

Even better, thank you both!

This reason is I put delay 0.5 second. I tested your script too. It requires for some reason bigger delay to avoid this error on my machine. My machine is slow, so to test on your machine, put some smaller delay on both scripts.

Thanks, TedW. But this can be done easier:

Applescript:

tell application "Safari"
   if its running then
       quit
       repeat while its running
           delay 0.1
       end repeat
   end if
   activate
end tel

OR:

Applescript:

my restart_App("Safari")

on restart_App(appName)
   tell application appName
       if its running then
           quit
           repeat while its running
               delay 0.1
           end repeat
       end if
       activate
   end tell
end restart_App
