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



You could also use /usr/bin/open -- then you wouldn't have to know where safari lives.

execl("/usr/bin/open", "/usr/bin/open", "-a", "Safari", 0);

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).

Hi all,

I want to write a quick little cocoa app that fires off Safari.

I started with something like

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
...
...
if(execv("/Applications/Safari.app", someArgs) == -1) {
  NSLog(@"execv failed with %s", strerror(errno));
}
}

It always fails with 'Permission denied', OK I kinda expect that. But
how do I fix it?

Would authorization would help? I've looked a the docs a little and it
would appear that I should do a
AuthorizationCreate/AuthorizationCopyRights shuffle but if so what
rights should I use?


Ideally I would like to run the app without it asking me for my
password, how could I achieve that?

TIA
