Daniel:

Open Terminal, select File, Save As. Note in the panel below the path an option that says, "Open this file when Terminal starts up."

If the user saved one of the sessions created by your app and checked this box, it may very well have caused the 'issue'.

I recently received an... interesting bug report that I haven't been able to reproduce for one of my apps. http://www.softyards.com/ sycureshell.shtml SycureShell works by writing a command out to a file in the Application Support folder (in appropriately named subfolders, of course), which is then chmoded and executed with open -a Terminal (or something similar for use with X11). This is all done with NSTask. (Yes, I realize I did things with NSTask I probably could have done in code, and yes, I realize that the app is in desperate need of updating.)

The report, which I've only gotten once, is that after deleting the app, the user could no longer open the Terminal without my script in the Application Support folder trying to run, whether the script still existed or not. The command doesn't seem to be in their .bashrc or .bash_profile anywhere.

I've tried deleting it on a test machine, and haven't been able to reproduce it. Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on?
