Hi all,

I'm trying to determine if my app was launched by cron
so that I can automate certain actions which would
otherwise require interaction.

So, I figured I'd use getppid(), convert the result to
a psn, use that to get the process' name, and then
check for "cron".

But, I always get a -600 when calling
GetProcessForPID().


Not all processes have PSNs. cron probably won't have one.
