hi.

im trying to get a list of the current running processes on OSX (10.2+).

the trick is i'm after those non background-only apps, i guess its the
equivalent to what the dock shows as running apps.

so 'tell application "System Events" to get the application processes' wont
cut it. I've tried a couple of filtering attempts with System Events but
can't find a consistent set of properties that will give the background-only
kind of test im after. (Using the new UI beta version + also tried with the
old one)

Any one have any ideas ?

im happy for a do shell script based approach.

thanks
adam.
