Re: Does open process work on OS X now?
Does open process accept parameters on any other platforms? I didn't think it would... Even so, check the docs on open process: they explicitly state that, quote (2.2.1 docs), On OS X systems, you can use the open process command to start up an application, but not a Unix process. Thus I suspect that it is not broken, and not a bug, which is why it was never Bugzilla'd. If you don't need to track the I/O from the process and simply want to start it up without waiting for its completion, you could try this: put shell(my_command/dev/null 21 ) into forgotten_var Otherwise, I'm not sure what you could (easily) use.

Re: Does open process work on OS X now?
I can find nothing easy at this point. I am still working on a external that will double fork exec on unix/ CreateProcess on windows and allows full stdin and stdout access.

Re: Does open process work on OS X now?
Well, open process has always worked on OS X AFAIK - are you using it to launch an application, or is there something else you've been trying to do that you weren't able to do?
