Hi. A daemon process is running independently of my Cocoa app. Given a pid
file of the daemon process in a known location, say /var/run/somedaemon.pid,
I would like my Cocoa app to read that file and check the process table to
see if the daemon is actually running. If the daemon IS running, I want my
Cocoa app to change its Dock icon.
Is there a canonical Cocoa way of doing this? Using NSTask and NSPipe to run
/bin/ps seems like a kludge.
I couldn't find anything useful in the NSProcessInfo class docs or the
"Interacting with the Operating System" guide.
Thanks,
-s
