I think this is down to the ability of the browser to accept command
line parameters in the shell. 

  launch http://www.somewhere.com; with konqueror also works, now to
see how to get around the issue with launch when the browser/process is
already open?

  get shell(konqueror http://www.slackware.com;)

Blocks and you have to type command-period to exit, same with:

  get shell(konqueror http://www.slackware.com )

which is what actually works in the shell.


Any suggestions? Thoughts on how to combine a browser and MC on Linux
for 2-way communication? Still stuck :(

Andu,

My knowlege of Linux is severely limited... how does 'netscape' associate
the program with the Netscape browser, and can you give an example of how
would you associate it with another browser? Just trying to understand...

Thanks,

OK - this works nicely using the shell(browserAppName somurl) version
Andu suggested...

On the Linux Guru side of things is there anyway to open / move metacard
windows from Workspace to Workspace - keep getting nothing only to find
that the window has opened in another workspace - great to have script
control over this...

Some more shell command tips out there?

Hi

Is there a generic form of this as on Windows with the start command.

Example: get shell (start  quotetFileNamequote)

above works with both url and normal paths and any type of file. I'm trying
to develop a cross platform handler to do the same thing.

Monte
