Can anyone point me to sample code on how to verify an application or
process is signed? My application executes a couple other processes and I
would like to validate their signatures before I blindly execute them. I've
found a ton of Apple documentation on the theory but not a lot on practical

Thank you to everyone that responded.
After reading through the Technical QA QA1133 and Technical Note TN2083 (as
well as all of your responses) I decided to use the utmpx API's for this
application. I like the concept of dividing users and system functions into
separate user agents and system
Is there a way of determining if a GUI user (ignoring remote shells and
such) is logged in from a system daemon? It looks like the WindowServer
process is started for a user session, but I'm not sure scanning the process
list is the best way of tackling this problem. Is there some Apple Event
Can anyone offer some guidance on how to pop-up a dialog box from a
background process? I have a system daemon started by launchd out of the
/Library/LaunchDaemons folder. Among other things the daemon manages a
background software update process, and depending on the extent of the

Is there a core foundation function for querying the Mac OS X operating
system name and version information? The uname() API returns the Darwin
kernel version information, but I need to find the OS X 10.x.x information.

What framework do I include in my Xcode project to pull in Gestalt? I've

I'm looking for suggestions on how to best handle long running tasks. My
app has a simple button connected to an Objective-C method. When I click
the button the method is called and a series of steps are performed. Each
involves some network activity and may take a second or two. I would like

I'm new and jumping in late and really don't have much to add except you are
