Hi. A daemon process is running independently of my Cocoa app.
Given a pid

I would like my Cocoa app to read that file and check the process
table to
see if the daemon is actually running. If the daemon IS running, I
want my
Cocoa app to change its Dock icon.
Better would be to run the daemon through launchd, if you can, and
have it set up a secure UNIX-domain socket via its launchd property
list. That will pass the path to the socket via an environment
variable, and that socket can be used to communicate with the daemon
-- or even launch it on demand.
