Re: starting external program at runtime

If your helper application is a console app, however, you should keep it with your main application bundle and use NSTask to run it and interact with it. (By console app I simply mean something that doesn't interact directly with the user).

Subject: starting external program at runtime

Hi All,

I want to start an application (it's bundled with my main app) in a
specific case. It was previously installed to a known location (it's a


right thing to do?), so is there any class I can call upon, or is the
best thing just a system() call?

Daniel
