I'm making a kiosk application that uses an open-source video player (VLC). I have VLC running under launchd, so if VLC should crash (as it occasionally does), it will be restarted. However, the OSX crash dialog ("this application has quit unexpectedly" with the Report, Cancel and Re-open buttons) still appears -- since this is a kiosk app, with no mouse / keyboard attached, I want to have my app dismiss the crash dialog. Can I do this with AppleScript? If so, how?


Why not turn off crashreporterd altogether? Edit /etc/hostconfig and change setting to NO. See crashreporterd(1).

====================

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/crashreporterd.8.html

crashreporterd is the daemon responsible for detecting application
crashes. crashreporterd listens for mach exceptions and when it detects
a mach exception launches crashdump to investigate the crash and report
it to the user.


crashreporterd is also responsible for writing panic information to
/Library/Logs/panic.log when the system is rebooted after a panic.


crashreporterd should only be started at boot time by the CrashReporter
startup item - killing or restarting crashreporterd at any other time
will lead to upredictable behavior when an application crashes. Adminis-Administrators
trators can edit the CRASHREPORTER entry in /etc/hostconfig to prevent
crashreporterd from starting at boot time.
