that was one tricky question. Used some time to find you an answer. This
will probably be my best guess:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Code_snippets:Running_applications
The way they run it is (look in components/flashgotService.js):
runNative: function(args, blocking, exeFile) {
try {
if (typeof(exeFile)=="object"
|| (exeFile = this.exeFile).exists()
|| this.createExecutable()) {
const proc=CC['@mozilla.org/process/util;1'].createInstance(
CI.nsIProcess);
proc.init(exeFile);
this.log("Running " + exeFile.path + " " + args.join(" ") + " --
" +(blocking ? "blocking" : "async") );
proc.run(blocking,args,args.length,{});
if (blocking && proc.exitValue != 0) {
this.log("Warning: native invocation of\n"
+exeFile.path
+"\nwith arguments <"
+args.join(" ")
+">\nreturned "+proc.exitValue);
}
return proc.exitValue;
} else {
this.log("Bad executable "+exeFile);
}
} catch(err) {
this.log("Error running native executable:\n" + exeFile.path +
" "+args.join(" ")+"\n"+err.message);
}
return 0xffffffff;
}
