Any suggestions?

Do you want to make a Cocoa app a CGI or Apache plugin?
If so, you're probably actually referring to a Foundation tool, since
you don't want a UI, and because you can't use anything related to the
windowserver if nobody is logged in.
And...

Frankly, this seems to point to something I feared about OSX, which is
that this paradigm simply does not exist in the context of Unix-based
OSes. If you're familiar with CGI applications in OS9, tools can be
built such as Flamethrower that allow you to mix an application with a
web CGI app, so that you can create TRUE applications, complete with
interfaces, and allow them to interact with connected web users.
If you're still confused by what I want to do, just ignore my previous
question, and instead tell me this: is it possible to create a CGI /
Apache plug-in that can send/receive Carbon Events and/or AppleEvents?
Thanks,
