Use Launch Services again. (see LSOpenApplication() ). Le 16 déc. 08 à 10:00, Rakesh Singhal a écrit : 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.

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? Same as above. Which kind of App ?

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? 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? 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. Thanks in advance. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
