I have been searching for days and hours for this, I have seen a lot of examples of this, but cannot figure out how NSTask works, let's say I wanted to execute the command killall Dock
or defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
something like that, how would I go about doing this.
I know how to execute an external shell script (sh) but need to be more sophisticated and use NSTask instead.
Thanks for any help!!
You could do something like:
NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath:@"/bin/bash"];
[task setArguments:@[ @"-c", @"/usr/bin/killall Dock" ]];
[task launch];
Exactly what launch path and arguments you provide are dictated by the command you want to run and its parameters.
