It's not Cocoa, but it is efficient...
To find out if an app with a given bundle ID is running:
#include "ProcessIsRunningWithBundleID.h"
#include <IOKit/IOCFBundle.h>
int ProcessIsRunningWithBundleID(CFStringRef inBundleID,
ProcessSerialNumber* outPSN)
{
int theResult = 0;
ProcessSerialNumber thePSN = {0, kNoProcess};
OSErr theError = noErr;
do {
theError = GetNextProcess(&thePSN);
if(theError == noErr)
{
CFDictionaryRef theInfo = NULL;
theInfo = ProcessInformationCopyDictionary(&thePSN,
kProcessDictionaryIncludeAllInformationMask);
if(theInfo)
{
CFStringRef theBundleID = CFDictionaryGetValue(theInfo,
IOBundleIdentifierKey);
if(theBundleID)
{
if(CFStringCompare(theBundleID, inBundleID, 0) ==
kCFCompareEqualTo)
{
theResult = 1;
}
}
CFRelease(theInfo);
}
}
} while((theError != procNotFound) && (theResult == 0));
if(theResult && outPSN)
{
*outPSN = thePSN;
}
return theResult;
}
The second argument can be NULL. If you pass the address of a
ProcessSerialNumber, you can then use this routine to quit it.
OSErr QuitApplicationByPSN(const ProcessSerialNumber* inPSN)
{
AppleEvent theQuitEvent = {typeNull, NULL};
AEBuildError theBuildError;
OSErr theError = AEBuildAppleEvent(kCoreEventClass,
kAEQuitApplication, typeProcessSerialNumber, inPSN,
sizeof(ProcessSerialNumber), kAutoGenerateReturnID,
kAnyTransactionID, &theQuitEvent,
&theBuildError,"");
if(theError == noErr)
{
AppleEvent theReply = {};
theError = AESend(&theQuitEvent, &theReply, kAENoReply |
kAENeverInteract,
kAENormalPriority, kNoTimeOut, NULL, NULL);
(void)AEDisposeDesc(&theQuitEvent);
}
return theError;
}
