more on open -a
Authored by: rroberts on Jun 23, '04 04:05:50PM

Nice tip! Because I use a handful of favorite applications, however, I created aliases in my .bashrc, so only have to type a brief command. For instance, in .bashrc:

alias pshop='open -a Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS'

Then I just type "pshop" at the command prompt.
To open a specific file, just type:

pshop SomePhoto.jpg

cheers!
