Is there a clean way to detect the default (installed) browser on Debian? The idea would be to avoid if possible scripts like:
for i in mozilla galeon konqueror ..; do if test -x "/usr/bin/$i"; then /usr/bin/$i $@
exit $?
fi
done
Alternatives are made for that. /usr/sbin/www-browser points, through a chain of symlinks, to some browser. See update-alternatives(8)
Cheers -Ralf.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display www-browser www-browser - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/lynx /usr/bin/lynx - priority 50 slave www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/lynx.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/bin/lynx.
Considering I have both mozilla and konqueror installed, I think that www-browser always points to lynx[or at least a console browser]
