I have written an .app which is launched many times until the running instance
shuts down finally. The code
to start it looks like this:
NSTask* task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath: @"/usr/bin/open"];
NSString* app = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s", launchApp]; // launchApp
is the app name
NSArray* arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: app, nil];
NSLog(@"==%@", arguments);
[task setArguments: arguments];
[task launch];
...
Like regular GUI applications, a new instance of my application does not come
up when above code
Is executed. The application delegate has implemented
applicationShouldHandleRepoen:hasVisibleWindows:
This method returns 'NO' in the end. I want to access the command line
arguments passed to the application
in this method implementation. Is it possible? If yes, could someone point me
to the relevant API please?
I tried NSProcessInfo but it (correctly) gives me the arguments passed to the
running instance.
The idea is to launch the application with different arguments so that it can
do different
stuff every time. This design is inspired as a result of porting this code from
other platforms, so I
would be willing to look at other design alternatives if it does not work well
in the Mac world. However
I would like to give existing solution a try before I do that.
Thanks in advance
Hirendra
