macOS Help with applescript (no idea)

Ahoi

I'm in a spot of trouble regarding an issue with applescript

I am looking to write a script that will open a program, let it run for an hour, then close it, and re-open it after say, ten seconds. I want this to happen continuously until i tell it to stop, except i have no idea of how to go about this, or even if applescript is what i want to use to do it.?

Any help from anyone is very much appreciated, thankyou

maybe you want to use launchd instead?

This might do trick. Without more information it is hard to say if there is a more appropriate solution.

repeat
	tell application "Address Book" to activate
	delay 3600
	tell application "Address Book" to quit
	delay 10
end repeat
