/usr/bin should normally be for programs used by the system during
startup, if I understand correctly, and /usr/sbin for system programs
used after /usr has been mounted. /usr/local/bin really ought to be
the correct place for user scripts and programs.
I am not sure what the advantage of using an NSBundle over a script
is. The location (/usr/bin in your suggestion) is important here, as
long as it is in the path.
Thanks for the answer.
