macOS AppleScript to log out and in the user

[soer]

I’m trying to make an AppleScript that logs out the current user, then immediately log in the same user again. This would help me solve a problem with a blue screen when my Mac mini and Plex wakes up from sleep mode.

I’ve tried with the following code, put together from different forums:

set logInUser to ”Media"
set logInPassword to ”media"
tell application "System Events" to log out
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke return
end tell
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "loginwindow"
        key code 53
        delay 1
        key code 125
        delay 1
        key code 36 using option down
        delay 1
        keystroke tab
        delay 1
        key code 117
        delay 0.5
        keystroke tab
        delay 0.5
        key code 117
        keystroke return
        delay 1
        keystroke tab
        delay 0.2
        repeat with aChar in characters of logInUser
            keystroke aChar
            delay 0.2
        end repeat
        keystroke tab
        delay 0.5
        repeat with aChar in characters of logInPassword
            keystroke aChar
            delay 0.2
        end repeat
        key code 98 using control down
        delay 0.2
        keystroke return
    end tell
end tell ¬

The problem is that when the script logs out the user, all apps are terminated, also the script itself, making the script stop before it can log in the user again, leaving me a log in window on the screen. How do I solve this?

You can't.

If login could be scripted, it would be a huge exploitable security hole.

And if users could leave scripts running after logout, that would be another security hole.

I almost thought so.

Thanks anyway!
