/usr/bin should normally be for programs used by the system during
startup, if I understand correctly, and /usr/sbin for system programs
used after /usr has been mounted. /usr/local/bin really ought to be
the correct place for user scripts and programs.

I agree. I would recommend /usr/local/bin if you're only targeting Leopard. Tiger and previous versions of Mac OS X does not come with / usr/local and doesn't have it in the user's path.


I am not sure what the advantage of using an NSBundle over a script
is. The location (/usr/bin in your suggestion) is important here, as
long as it is in the path.

My idea was that you could have the graphical application and any command line tools inside your application bundle. Many applications does that and puts a symlink when it is being used for the first time in /usr/bin that links to the tool inside the application bundle. The problem with that is that the symlink will break if the application bundle is moved or renamed.
