Just as an FYI, using system() for a task such as this can be
exploited to run arbitrary code by an attacker than knows what they
are doing. Instead, you should use fork()/exec() to do this.
Thanks David,
Maybe I should ask what else in the same area? I also use 'popen',
NSTask, and quite a few of the OSA technologies -- of this last which
can serve as an (incoming) Mail rule in 5 of the scripting languages
built-in to OS X.
I'm hard pressed to define the line between user convenience (for
scriptors in my case) and security.
