Just for historical reference, here's my version [1]: $ cat ~/bin/moz #!/bin/sh #barely modified from <URL:http://vroop.com/archives/000020.html>: #open URL in new process if there isn't one, #otherwise open URL in a new tab DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/mozilla/1.1/mozilla -remote "ping()" && DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/mozilla/1.1/mozilla -remote "openURL($@, new-tab)" && exit 0 #if we're here, open a new process. DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/mozilla/1.1/mozilla "$@" & I don't know which came first, but whatever. . . - Dave BTW - The explicit setting of the DISPLAY variable is necessary because I don't run anything but Mozilla from within X, and so I don't bother to set $DISPLAY manually every time I fire up a new screen. I suppose the problem could be solved by setting $DISPLAY in my .bashrc, but (a) I'm too lazy; and (b) I often call bash as /bin/sh, or use the tcsh, so I don't like to rely on my .bashrc to set up anything that all shells will need.
