Hi all,

Is it possible to find out all the running apps in classic environment.

Not directly from the Mac OS X side. I believe that the Mac OS X Finder communicates somehow with the Classic 'environment' so that individual Classic apps show up in the dock, but I don't think that set of APIs is public. There's definitely no way to get that information directly from the kernel.

My KEXT is a dlil interface filter, it gets the current proc, however there is only on pid for a classic app, the TruBlueEnvironment. By using that is it possible to find out all the running apps under that, since a classic app running in TruBlueEnvironment does not have its own unix pid.

Correct. 'Classic' is a more-or-less complete Mac OS 9 environment in a process. That was the simplest way to get the kind of fidelity needed.

Regards,

Justin
