Yes, tried that already - and the Workspace stuff works well - but it won't show me the start/termination of applications that don't talk to the window server - i.e. daemon processes. And I need this to detect my daemon process :-)

I haven't confirmed this, but Carbon Event dispatch in Cocoa is limited by Apple to only those events for which there are no reasonable Cocoa counterparts. For instance, the "front process changed" events are dispatched because NSWorkspace doesn't offer any such facility.

Have you tried using the NSWorkspace "NSWorkspaceDidLaunchApplicationNotification" etc notifications to achieve your goal?

OK, I basically want to listen for process activation and termination... watching the live process list essentially, here's how the handler gets installed:

eventsToListenFor[0].eventClass = kEventClassApplication;
eventsToListenFor[0].eventKind = kEventAppLaunched;
eventsToListenFor[1].eventClass = kEventClassApplication;
eventsToListenFor[1].eventKind = kEventAppTerminated;
OSStatus functionResult = InstallApplicationEventHandler (launchTerminateCallbackUPP,
