Creating a child process is pretty simple using NSTask (although, is there a specific reason you want to use a child process and not a thread?).

However, getting a list of the open files is not a trivial task

Just use the aforementioned simple NSTask to run 'lsof'. :-)

Or, if you know *where* the files will be opened, just watch that directory with kqueue.
