OPEN(1) BSD General Commands Manual OPEN(1)
NAME
open -- open files and directories
SYNOPSIS
open [-e] [-t] [-f] [-F] [-W] [-R] [-n] [-g] [-h] [-b bundle_identifier]
[-a application] file ... [--args arg1 ...]
DESCRIPTION
The open command opens a file (or a directory or URL), just as if you had
double-clicked the file's icon. If no application name is specified, the
default application as determined via LaunchServices is used to open the
specified files.
If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL.
You can specify one or more file names (or pathnames), which are inter-
preted relative to the shell or Terminal window's current working direc-
tory. For example, the following command would open all Word files in the
current working directory:
open *.doc
Opened applications inherit environment variables just as if you had
launched the application directly through its full path. This behavior
was also present in Tiger.
The options are as follows:
-a application
Specifies the application to use for opening the file
-b bundle_indentifier
Specifies the bundle identifier for the application to use when open-
ing the file
-e Causes the file to be opened with /Applications/TextEdit
-t Causes the file to be opened with the default text editor, as deter-
mined via LaunchServices
open /Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/Indigo\ 6/IndigoServer
tell application "IndigoServer"
quit
end tell
# Give the server some time to fully shut down
delay 10
tell application "IndigoServer"
activate
end tell
