Seems like a lot of trouble here, what prevents you from just quitting an inactive program, apps restart very quickly after first use in my experience????

I thought someone may have mentioned this before, but I was wondering if it's possible (10.1.5) to open an app that normally would show up in the dock, but not let it show in the dock. Preferrably also not pop to the top of the window stack either.

I tried opening it in a shell with open app & (like you can do with screensavers in Jag to make them appear as the background) to no avail.

The idea is that I've got an app that takes screen-captures, and I think someone is messing around with my computer when I'm away so I want to be able to launch the app without it appearing in the dock.

I considered going through the package and deleting the icon, but it's not a Cocoa bundle so there is no package...

Any other ideas?

Awesome thanks!

Or you can use Res Edit to modify your app so it is set as an Background only application..

Dockless should do the trick:
