From the OS’s point of view, your question is ill-formed. The user can create a hardlink to the same inode at /tmp/someapp and execute that. > Is this even possible? I can think of a couple strategies: 1. Have the target app create a resource that goes away when the app terminates. Maybe a pipe? Something that the system will destroy when the helper app terminates. 2. Move your helper apps to XPC services. (Almost certainly Apple’s preferred approach.) --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
