I'm starting a process via NSTask and launchctl. I can use launchctl list to get the process' PID. Is there a way i can get notified if the process
exits (or dies) without polling launchctl list?

I'm not sure that will be much help to you for what you're doing. If
it's not a GUI task, those methods won't work I don't think.

Do you have control over the service that you're launching? Is it your
own code? If so, there are other IPC mechanisms you could use.

I think it'll work very well. It's not a GUI process (although most of the techniques in the TN support only processes in the current context). In this case, the kqueues will do just fine.
