3: Response to Contracts (response to 1)

Dunno if this is remotely relevant, but since OS X (and OPENSTEP before it) has some notion of "services" built into it, I thought an article explaining how it works in that environment might be useful:

http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/Services.html

Interestingly, one of the specific services available for OPENSTEP (which I assume could work for OS X as well) is something called "TickleServices." In the words of the article author:

This program allows anyone to turn a TCL script into an OPENSTEP service. The author, Scott Hess, provides quite a few utilities and literally hundreds of example services that you can try out. Anyone who wishes to try out the power of services should try this program out. Developers who want a really easy way to create services should also examine this program, since the documentation is very good.
