Quickly open an app in Terminal

November 24th, 2009 David Veksler Leave a comment Go to comments

To open an app in terminal, type open -a AppName or open /Applications/AppName.app if you want to specify the path. I use it for starting VNC server via SSH.

Bonus:  echo “set completion-ignore-case On” > ~/.inputrc will make auto-completion case-insensitive.
