I was wondering if there was a way to listen for when a certain app launches (e.g. Word)? I would to make it so that when the user opens a certain app (e.g. Word), my program then launches. Is AppleScript the best way to do this? If so, anyone have any good leads or resources to direct me to?

NSWorkspace has a notification when applications are launched, but something needs to be running to receive it. You could, for example, hide yourself until a certain application launched.
