Attempt to find the application associated with this file. If found, load the application and cause it to load the file. This method may be used to execute a file much as it had been double-clicked in the Finder or Explorer. It can be used to run scripts, to launch other applications and much more.
Since this method opens a severe security hole, it is disabled by default. To enable the method, use the security flag sSEC_FILE_ALLOW_EXECUTE
.
The method returns immediately after launching the application. It does not wait for the application to terminate. It returns true
if the launch was successful.
