listing all apps on the machine
Authored by: hayne on Nov 30, '06 10:26:05AM
Note that on Tiger you can use the Spotlight-generated database to get a complete list of all apps that are on the machine - no matter where they are (in /Applications or elsewhere). You would do this via the following command (in a Terminal window):

mdfind 'kMDItemContentTypeTree == "com.apple.application"c'
