Yep, I got it backwards. Nothing special for the child to keep running, special to make it die. Simple old trick is to periodically check ppid to see if it changed. OSX specific way, and not requiring any nasty polling loop, is to use kqueue and an EVFILT_PROC for NOTE_EXIT. I don't know if there's any Cocoa or CF equivalent. Sorry for the confusion, this is actually something I've gotten backwards before. I've written the code for the child to monitor for the parent's exit, yet I still forget that it's necessary.
