NSTask terminates when NSApplication exits


  • Subject: NSTask terminates when NSApplication exits

I am trying to write a program that maintains different installs of
another program including launching the program. To do so, I am using
NSTask. Now when I quit my cocoa app. the NSTask app dies. The task
that the NSTask is running is a Java program, not sure if that makes a
difference. According to what I have read, the application should keep
running even when the parent task exits. I am running my cocoa app
from in XCode4, not sure if that has any effect on it. Could it be
that I am not specifying standard* streams so when the parent app
quits, those streams are closed and thus the process?

I can probably find out the answer by trying different things, but I'd
like to get a better insight for what is going on and why the child
task is terminating.
