Creating a child process is pretty simple using NSTask (although, is
there a specific reason you want to use a child process and not a
thread?).
However, getting a list of the open files is not a trivial task
Just use the aforementioned simple NSTask to run 'lsof'. :-)
Or, if you know *where* the files will be opened, just watch that
directory with kqueue.
