Is there a way to get information on whether any running apps have loaded a particular dylib or framework (additionally getting the names of these apps would be even better)? I would like to detect this condition in my installer and notify the user to quit these applications before installing. Thanks!

You could scrape the output of the lsof command. However, as I understand it, changing the dylib out from under a running application shouldn't be fatal: A file that has been unlinked from the directory tree is not actually deleted until its last user closes it.

I could be way wrong about that, though.
