Script ends even if there are still more commands after - command

Question

I'm not sure what i am doing wrong but after this command finishes, the script ends yet there is still another command to complete, would anyone know what I am doing wrong. Thanks
I enter this in, it runs through
tell application "Finder"
activate
display dialog "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" buttons {"Restart", "Sleep", "Shutdown"} with icon alias ((path to me as text) & "Contents:Resources:power.icns")
if the button returned of the result is "Restart" then
set theSeconds to 10
repeat theSeconds times
display dialog theSeconds buttons {"Stop"} giving up after 1 with title "Restarting..." with icon 0 default button 1
set theSeconds to (theSeconds - 1)
set volume 6
beep 1
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
restart
end tell
else
if the button returned of the result is "Sleep" then
set theSeconds to 10
repeat theSeconds times
display dialog theSeconds buttons {"Stop"} giving up after 1 with title "Sleeping..." with icon 0 default button 1
set theSeconds to (theSeconds - 1)
set volume 6
beep 1
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
sleep
end tell
else
if the button returned of the result is "Shutdown" then
set theSeconds to 10
repeat theSeconds times
display dialog theSeconds buttons {"Stop"} giving up after 1 with title "Shutting Down..." with icon 0 default button 1
set theSeconds to (theSeconds - 1)
set volume 6
beep 1
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
shut down
end tell
and this is the command that comes after, but doesn't run
set appLocation to path to me as string
set theFile to appLocation & "Contents:Resources:iPanic.app"
tell application "Finder" to open file theFile
delay 8
tell application "Terminal"
activate
set currentTab to do script {"defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool YES"}
delay 1
do script {"Killall Finder"} in currentTab
end tell

The reason the end of your script doesn’t run is that by the time the script gets to that point, your computer has either restarted, is sleeping, or has been shutdown.
The restart, sleep, or shutdown command needs to be the very last command in your script.
You can make the final part of your script into a subroutine, and call that subroutine before the restart, sleep, or shutdown commands.
Wrap the final part of your script like this:
on finalPart()
…
end finalPart
And then you call that subroutine like this:
finalPart() of me
restart
You can name the subroutine something more descriptive to you than “finalPart” of course.
Also, where you are calling the restart, sleep, and shutdown commands, you don’t need the tell block that is around them because you are already talking to Finder at that point. You can remove the line directly above and directly below the restart, sleep, and shutdown commands.
And here:
tell application "Terminal"
activate
set currentTab to do script {"defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool YES"}
delay 1
do script {"Killall Finder"} in currentTab
end tell
You don’t have to run a shell script with the Terminal app. The “do shell script” command is a Standard Addition that works in every app. And to quit Finder, all you have to do is tell it to quit. So unless you have more going on in your “Killall Finder” script than just quitting the Finder, you can probably write the above like this:
tell application "Finder"
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool YES"
delay 1
quit
end tell
Of course, if that part of the script is already within a Finder tell block, you can remove the tell command from the above.
