Where can I find an example that illustrates wrapping simple Unix commands with Cocoa. Here's an idea: an app with one window and one button. Press the button and another window opens and displays the results of "ls -la".

Is this a simple thing? Any similar examples would be helpful, I am not looking for the above specifically. I just need an example on how to write wrappers.


Thanks.

This may help too. I got it off of the Mac OS X Dev mailing list.

Smallsockets (http://smallsockets.sourceforge.net) is another instructive example.

Of how to wrap BSD API into Obj-C, but not of how to wrap commandline tools into Cocoa apps
