NSProcessInfoMBS.automaticTerminationSupportEnabled as boolean

Without calling this or setting the equivalent Info.plist key (NSSupportsAutomaticTermination), the above methods (disableAutomaticTermination/enableAutomaticTermination) have no effect, although the counter tracking automatic termination opt-outs is still kept up to date to ensure correctness if this is called later. Currently, passing false has no effect.
This should be called during applicationDidFinishLaunching or earlier.

NSProcessInfoMBS.environment as dictionary

dim p as new NSProcessInfoMBS
dim d as Dictionary = p.environment
MsgBox str(d.Count)

NSProcessInfoMBS.globallyUniqueString as string

dim p as new NSProcessInfoMBS

MsgBox p.globallyUniqueString // shows for example "072EC09A-4825-11DD-BDC0-001D4F46F5E0-18405-00000CA853EB5B46"

Returns the Global ID for the process. The ID includes the host name, process ID, and a time stamp, which ensures that the ID is unique for the network.

This method generates a new string each time it is invoked, so it also uses a counter to guarantee that strings created from the same process are unique.

NSProcessInfoMBS.processName as string

dim p as new NSProcessInfoMBS

MsgBox p.processName

The process name is used to register application defaults and is used in error messages. It does not uniquely identify the process.

You can assign a new value, but:
User defaults and other aspects of the environment might depend on the process name, so be very careful if you change it. Setting the process name in this manner is not thread safe.

NSProcessInfoMBS.thermalState as Integer

dim n as NSProcessInfoMBS = NSProcessInfoMBS.processInfo

Select case n.thermalState
case n.NSProcessInfoThermalStateNominal
  MsgBox "Thermal State: Nominal"
case n.NSProcessInfoThermalStateFair
  MsgBox "Thermal State: Fair"
case n.NSProcessInfoThermalStateSerious
  MsgBox "Thermal State: Serious"
case n.NSProcessInfoThermalStateCritical

On systems where thermal state is unknown or unsupported, the value returned from the thermalState property is always NSProcessInfoThermalStateNominal.

Available in Mac OS X 10.10.3 and newer.
Returns -1 if function is called on older Mac OS X versions, Linux or Windows.
