Open several apps and docs with a double-click
Authored by: pmccann on May 17, '04 11:03:58PM

Don't forget the "open -a" syntax. It's much easier than specifying a path to an application (with or without the ".app" suffix). To open Chess, for example, just use

open -a chess

(yep, the case doesn't matter). Of course if your app isn't hiding in the /Applications directory (or ~/Applications) or a subfolder thereof it won't be found, but for standard apps in standard places this saves some time.
