Normally when a parent process terminates, all its children are automatically terminated. The original question was how to launch a process from an app such that the process is not a child of the app, but rather a child of a higher-up process, whether a child of launchd or something further down the chain like WindowServer was not really part of the discussion. A corollary of course would be how to launch a child such that what you describe happens--termination of parent results in child becoming child of an ancestor further up the chain. -- Scott Ribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
