Hey, Kukosk. There’s a comment on CocoaDev about NSLog() issues when running an NSTask. The fix is to set a pipe for stdin before launching the task:

[task setStandardInput:[NSPipe pipe]];

If you’re relying on NSLog() only to check whether the task has run, this might fix your problem. Alternatively, you could try to present output in your GUI instead of using NSLog().
