Something like this:
[[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(myMethod:) name:NSWorkspaceDidLaunchApplicationNotification object:nil];
(note that this was typed in Mail and may not be wholly correct)

I agree that you should have the PID but couldn't you find that out from the
application name? If you can I can start a program that will run in the
background and delete application that are not allowed.

P.S. If anyone has an example of doing something like this could you send it
my way? I don9t have a lot of NSWorkspace experience.

Apparently you can set up a notification whenever an application is

from the Finder. Does anyone have any experience with this?

The Cocoa way is via NSWorkspace, but unfortunately the notification you
receive is a bit iffy and only gives you the application name as an
NSString. I filed a bug that this should also at least give the PID or
carbon PSN.
