Yeah, to me it is... although I still agree that it's not an ideal
solution for a Cocoa application...
By the way, assuming you change char *args[] = { -a, Safari,

the exec* example actually works while the LaunchServices
Hi all,
I want to write a quick little cocoa app that fires off Safari.
I started with something like
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

if(execv(/Applications/Safari.app, someArgs) == -1) {
NSLog(@execv failed with %s, strerror(errno));

Another option (which may or may not work for you) is embedding a
WebKit view in your application window and using that to display web

Ideally I would like to run the app without it asking me for my
