Re: exec(uting) Safari - How (newbie)

What env pollution? I agree that exec* isn't really the way to go, but that's what the OP was using... I just suggested that /usr/bin/open is a better option than hard-coding the path to some arbitrary application. It's also a lot easier to use than the LaunchServices API... although if I w

Another option (which may or may not work for you) is embedding a WebKit view in your application window and using that to display web stuff. -- Ilan On Jul 1, 2008, at 11:15 AM, Barrie Green wrote: Hi all, I want to write a quick little cocoa app that fires off Safari. I started with s

Try executing "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari". /Applications/Safari.app identifies a bundle, not the actual application (and execv() is not aware of bundles). --Kris On Jul 1, 2008, at 10:15 AM, Barrie Green wrote: Hi all, I want to write a quick little cocoa app that fir
