Launch an app on OS X with command line

Question

I want to launch an app on OSX from a script. I need pass it command line arguments. Unfortunately, open doesn\'t accept command line args.

The only opt

Answer 1

An application bundle (a .app file) is actually a bunch of directories. Instead of using open and the .app name, you can actually move in to it and start the actual binary. For instance:

$ cd /Applications/LittleSnapper.app/
$ ls
Contents
$ cd Contents/MacOS/
$ ./LittleSnapper

That is the actual binary that might accept arguments (or not, in LittleSnapper's case).
