Apache isn’t running in the same login context as your app. In fact it’s an entirely separate user account. Distributed notifications don’t go between login sessions. I can’t think of any straightforward solution. Probably the best approach is to have your Cocoa app listen on an IP port and then the tool can send a message to that port. You’d have to either hardcode the port number or find a way to communicate the number to the tool, and the app would need to make sure it binds only to the loopback interface to avoid the possibility of getting pinged by another machine. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
