Thanks.
1. The application for which I have to find out the path is a GUI I do
not know what technology was used to write, I think it does not
matter. I want to find out the path of this application in my another
application
2. Yes you are right, I can see in Activity Monitor but I want to find
out the programatically.
I want to do both activity in another application and it is C++ Tool
(Command line utility) and will run as daemon.
Regards
rksinghal
