Try executing "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari".

/Applications/Safari.app identifies a bundle, not the actual application (and execv() is not aware of bundles).

Hi all,

I want to write a quick little cocoa app that fires off Safari.

I started with something like

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
 ...
 ...
 if(execv("/Applications/Safari.app", someArgs) == -1) {
   NSLog(@"execv failed with %s", strerror(errno));
 }
}

It always fails with 'Permission denied', OK I kinda expect that. But
how do I fix it?

Would authorization would help? I've looked a the docs a little and it
would appear that I should do a
AuthorizationCreate/AuthorizationCopyRights shuffle but if so what
rights should I use?

Ideally I would like to run the app without it asking me for my
password, how could I achieve that?

TIA
