i know i can detect when a particular menu is about to be shown, but what I want is to run a quick process before any menus from the menu bar are shown

Launching a process is by no means a "quick" operation. It is imperative that menus appear instantly when requested and not cause a great deal system overhead in the process, since users tend to be trigger-happy with menus.


What is your actual goal? It seems silly that you'd need to execute a process every time someone clicks on a menu in the menu bar.
