Yeah, you are going the long way around here. NSWorkspace -openFile: is a one liner and will get rid of a lot of extra hassle for you.

There's no trick here. Just use Launch Services or NSWorkspace -
openFile: to launch the helper app, and it will be a child of the

Fork/exec leave the app as a child of your app, causing lots of minor
issues.

I didn't know Launch Services would do that. I suppose it should have been
obvious, but...


Anyway, I used NSTask. Until (around 10.4.10) it stopped working with a
mysterious error message on some Macs but not others. I switched to
vfork/exec. But I only to launch a script which calls launchctl and then
returns--so there is no process left as a child of my app.


I'll look at the other options next time I update anything about this.
