"soca open" doesn't work on Linux

Open NicolasT opened this issue 14 years ago • 3 comments

The "open" CLI command spawns "open http://...", but the "open" command on a Linux system doesn't have the same behaviour as "open" on MacOS X. "xdg-open" could/should be used instead.

I've gone through this before (with vegas) and found that open was available on most non-windows systems. What distro are you using?

On my system (Fedora 14), /usr/bin/open is a symlink to /usr/bin/openvt. Same on an Ubuntu 8.04.4 (Hardy LTS) system.

I think that the launchy gem will provide a fix for this without resorting to open?
