1. Use Process Manager and search for bundle id or creator.
2. Use LaunchServices API (see LSFindApplicationForInfo() ).
3. Use Launch Services again. (see LSOpenApplication() ).

I am done with finding the process is running or not. Thanks a lot.
Still I am stuck with second issue to find the path to my application
in my system. Actually there are 3 steps:
1. To know that application is running or not? Now it is done.
2. If not then get the path of application where it was installed
(user can change the path during installation).
3. Launch the application.
My code is standard C++ tool so I want to use only C and C++ APIs.
Please suggest me.

The name of an application is not reliable.
You should never have to use it to identify an application.
Use the Application Bundle identifier, or the application creator
instead.

I think I need to use GetNextProcess and but I am not clear to use
it
to know about that my application is running or not. I know only
about
the name of my application and I have to iterate over
GetNextProcess
and use sysctl API. But i do not know how to know taht it is my
application or not :-( how to relate name of application nad process
serial number?

Hi all,
I think these are general queries still I am not aware of answer
of
following queries:
1. I create a package for MyApp application and option is given to
user to change the path to install the MyApp application. Now in
my
code, I want to find out the path of MyApp application so that I
can
access it. So how to get the path of application?
Are you taking about Cocoa App, Carbon App, BSD tool ?
For Cocoa App, use NSBundle API
For Carbon App use CFBundle API (works with Cocoa too)
For BSD tool, I think _NSGetExecutablePath() will do the trick
(<mach-o/dyld.h>)
2. MyApp is running on my system and I need to find out that is it
running or not then how to find out?
What do you mean by "find out" ? The simple answer is have a look
at
activity monitor but you may want to determine it programatically.
Same as above. Which kind of App ?
Cocoa: Iterate over -[NSWorkspace launchedApplications]
Carbon: Use Process Manager API.
BSD: use sysctl.
