Chris S.,Why do you not want it to be a child? The reason I ask is that if your requirement is that the spawned process isn't terminated when the parent dies, then NSTask will suffice. Whilst processes it spawns are children, they're in a different process group and session and so don't die when theparent dies.Is there anything special I need to specify or any particular terminology for this that I should look for in the doc to get this behavior (running in a different process group)? Thanks!
I don't think the docs. cover this issue. There's no way of controlling the behaviour if that's what you're asking. I think there was a recent post from someone who wanted the opposite behaviour, for a process spawned by NSTask to be terminated when the parent dies, which unfortunately isn't possible.
