All apps are launched the same way - by sending them an oapp Apple event (or 
similar). It doesn't matter whether it came from the Finder (double-clicking 
the app) or a script; an Apple event is an Apple event. That's the whole point 
of Apple events; they are a universal system level messaging system.

If the question is "Who is sending me this oapp Apple event?", I don't think 
there's any way to find that out because in a Cocoa app by the time your code 
runs that's already happened.
