Difference between open --hide and open --background
Hi, I am trying to use the open command from the Terminal window to open my application. I have tried the following : open --hide MyApp.app open --background MyApp.app The documentation says : --help launch the app hidden and --background does not bring the application to the foreground. I would like to understand the difference between the two ? What I have observed is, in both cases the application launches and my GUI Window is not in the foreground. Am I missing something ?

Having multiple sessions on Mac with same user
Hi, I have a shared Mac system running on BigSur 11.4 - which I access from office and home. I have a single user id, and do not want the two sessions to interfere with each other. Can I have 2 independent sessions on this Mac machine for the same user ? Basically, I am seeking guidance on ‘what kind of options/settings/helper applications' will allow me to do this. Thanks in advance.

How can we open and use a terminal using Objective-C
Hi, We are creating a macOS application that is built as a 'Bundle' and NOT as a Unix-style application. In a specific flow, we need to attach this process to a terminal session by creating one. Now, on this attached terminal, stdin/stdout etc would happen. We are using Objective C. Any pointers on how to go about this would be helpful.
