Beware! This technique might not be suitable for production code. See
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1361.html
IMPORTANT: Because the definition of the kinfo_proc structure (in
<sys/sysctl.h>) is conditionalized by __APPLE_API_UNSTABLE, you should
restrict use of the above code to the debug build of your program.
I have a radar filed requesting clarification on QA1123 regarding this,
but no word yet.

I know that somebody wrote a Cocoa wrapper for this, but a quick search
didn't find it. I'm sure there's more in the archives if you dig.
Oh, and if you only care about GUI processes, then it's easy: -[NSWorkspace
launchedApplications] gives you a list of all launched apps.

Hi,
This is not necessarily a Cocoa question, but this is for a Cocoa
App. I have done a search for this, and have tried to figure this.
But what I need to do is, given a process name (Application or other
type), how can I find out if that process is running. Because if it
is running already I need to do something different. I know this
sounds weird, but if I was to explain the whole story behind
this, it
would take way to long. I thought this would be pretty easy
to figure
out, but I have not found anything yet.
Thanks,
