If it is absolutely necessary to use NSTask for launching the app, you can also use the "open" command which honours the one instance per-app rule properly. However, I agree that NSWorkspace is the best thing to use in most cases.

Instead of AppleScript, I tend to use NSTask to launch the application, but it won't use the active application instead it opens another one and do the stuff.

Launching GUI apps via low-level Unix system calls (as NSTask does) can be problematic. CoreServices, which keeps track of application processes, either isn't aware of those, or is but treats them differently; I'm not sure which. I do know that the "only one copy of an app can be running at once" rule only applies to apps launched by LaunchServices; so if you start one yourself via exec or NSTask, and then something goes through the normal launch mechanism (in this case AppleScript), a second copy will be launched.


It would be better if you used NSWorkspace to launch your app. Or for more control, you can call LaunchServices directly.
