I found some stuff on CocoaDevCentral
http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/ on
how to do this (wrapping a unix command in Cocoa), but found that their
solution caused race conditions (I think that's what I experienced) in
the Appkit under certain conditions - so I added, in addition to NSTask
and NSPipe stuff, some stuff with Distributed Objects to cause the
updating of the large amounts of text I get back from the subtask to
flow into a TextView without interruption. DO seems to handle it well.
See
http://82north.com/volumes/Ditto.dmg.gz for the app and the source
to it. (The app does a simple 'ditto' of one folder into another (it's
the brainless (and inefficient) way I backup my home directory.))
