Hi,
Can anyone explain how I can start an application from the console. Often I want to view a file from the current directory and I simply want to start an application to view it. I'd also like to be able to start a Finder window in the current directory. I've added the ability to start a console from the Finder, but it would be very useful to do the reverse!
This was easy in Windows, you simply had to know the .exe name of the application. I've tried all sorts on OSX with no success.
In particular, I want to start Safari, Firefox, TextEdit, and Finder..
Thanks for your suggestions!
