(Objective C) Detect already loaded older version of a preference pane - 0xced

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:48:21 UTC

(Objective C) Reload a preference pane - 0xced

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 15:16:16 UTC

The preference pane that need to be reloaded must fork 'reload' with two arguments, then terminate System Preferences. In Cocoa, the fork is easily achieved with a NSTask. The first argument must be the bundle identifier of the preference pane to reload. The second argument must be the process identifier of the terminating application, i.e. System Preferences. In Cocoa, you can get it with [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processIdentifier], which is equivalent to getpid().

(Objective C) Relaunch an application - 0xced

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 15:11:39 UTC

The application that needs to be restarted must fork 'relaunch' with two arguments, then terminate. In Cocoa, the fork is easily achieved with a NSTask. The first argument must be the path to the application to relaunch. The second argument must be the process identifier of the terminating application. In Cocoa, you can get it with [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processIdentifier], which is equivalent to getpid().
