That was just a bog-standard badly written shell script, nothing to
do with system().
system("rm -rf /Volumes/Harddisk 1/Applications/iTunes.app");
yeah, right.
It would have been the same problem if they'd called it via
NSTask (and that's more likely how that script was called...)
No that wouldn't. When using NSTask, you MUST separate yourself the
argument list:
[task setArguments:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"-r", @"-f", @"/Volumes/Harddisk
1/Applications/iTunes.app", nil]];
is different than the system() call above, and doesn't have the same
bogus side effect.
So NSTask is a little bit longer to use, but is MUCH more secure.
Not to mention the fact that NSTask can't run things as root...
