Re: killing background processes with UNIX in cocoa?

I'm probably being really stupid here, how in Cocoa do you run UNIX commands?

You use NSTask to run UNIX commands, but you would use an NSTask to kill processes. (BTW, *PLEASE* put *all* of your question in the body of your e-mail, even if some of it is a repeat of your subject line; don't put half in the subject line and half in the message, because sometimes people won't see all of it.)

You're probably looking for the UNIX kill() function, though you shouldn't use that on GUI applications (instead, send them a quit Apple Event---see <http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/12/10/152304 > for an example).

Kind regards,

Alastair.
