Would something like this work better? It should deal with

Yeah, bundle IDs are a good habit. Here's a slightly cleaner, case-
insensitive version of the above:
BOOL IsRunning(NSString *bundleID) {
NSEnumerator *appsList = [[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]
launchedApplications] objectEnumerator];
NSDictionary *appInfo;
bundleID = [bundleID lowercaseString];
while (appInfo = [appsList nextObject]) {
if ([[[appInfo objectForKey: @"NSApplicationBundleIdentifier"]
lowercaseString] isEqual: bundleID])
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
Or just use one of the ObjC-AppleEvent bridges to do everything. For
example, using objc-appscript:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "ITGlue/ITGlue.h"
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
ITApplication *itunes = [[ITApplication alloc] initWithBundleID:
@"com.apple.itunes"];
NSLog(@"Is running: %i", [itunes isRunning]);
[[itunes run] send];
NSLog(@"Is running: %i", [itunes isRunning]);
[[itunes quit] send];
while([itunes isRunning]) {
printf("Waiting while iTunes quits...\n");
sleep(1);
}
NSLog(@"Is running: %i", [itunes isRunning]);
[itunes release];
[pool release];
return 0;
}
