I am having a little trouble finding a way to go from the name of a process to its PSN. Maybe it's just something I have overlooked, but all the documentation seems to be going from the PSN to its name. My goal is to use the name of a particular process and "kill it" using Apple Events.

You can scan the array of dictionaries returned by -[NSWorkspace launchedApplications] for the one which matches your criteria, and get the PSN from that.

In general, I recommend that you use the bundle identifier, rather than the name, to discriminate among applications/processes.

Cheers,
Ken
