The title says it all... I want to tell Safari to go to a particular URL. If Safari is not opened, then my app will tell the Finder to open it, and then go to the specified URL.

As joar noted, the preferred technique is to send openURL: to the default NSWorkspace. A couple of things worth noting: a) This isn't going to go to Safari. It's going to go to whatever app is configured to handle URLs of the passed scheme on the user's machine. For HTTP that's Safari by default, but if you _need_ Safari this isn't reliable. b) Your app doesn't need to make any effort to launch the app.
