LaunchServices or NSWorkspace (which uses LS) is still probably your
best option, as NSTask is not really designed to deal with GUI apps.
To terminate the app, you can send a quit apple event or use
applescript. This has come up recently, so search the list archives.
To detect when the user terminates the application, you can also use
NSWorkspace. See the documentation for
NSWorkspaceDidTerminateApplicationNotification

Hi, that looks great thanks, I've just been looking through the
documentation, but I don't think it allows control over terminating
the app, or detecting when its closed. I would like to have that
level of control (just terminate, and detect if user close it) -
which is why I was opting for NSTask - but actually I'm not having
any luck with that either! (if I put the path to the .app I get a
permission error, if I put the path to the file in contents/macos it
doesn't work!). is there anything else I can do?

Hi all, i'm writing an app that launches some default apps like
safari, itunes, iphoto etc using NSTask. I was wondering if there
is a way of writing the launch url not fully hardcoded but using
some system variables / methods etc.?
