All processes on MacOSX, and any Unix/Linux operating system are child processes except for launchd (MacOSX) or init (Unix/Linux). If you fork and execv a process, then when the parent terminates, the created process is automatically made a child of launchd.

Even if NSTask doesn't have options for this, you can always call fork
and execv, which is what NSTask uses under the hood.

But that gives you a child process, and there's no way that I found around
it without ugly hacks involving exec'ing a launchctl script...
