Hi,
Can anyone explain how I can start an application from the console. Often I want to view a file from the current directory and I simply want to start an application to view it. I'd also like to be able to start a Finder window in the current directory. I've added the ability to start a console from the Finder, but it would be very useful to do the reverse!
This was easy in Windows, you simply had to know the .exe name of the application. I've tried all sorts on OSX with no success.
In particular, I want to start Safari, Firefox, TextEdit, and Finder..
Thanks for your suggestions!
Alex

Applications Textedit App Contents Macos Textedit Etc Hosts 2017
Nov 30, 2011 There's an application called Gas Mask that can edit the Hosts file on the Mac quiet easily - even allow for subscriptions to anti-malware and adblock Hosts files from this site: http. System('echo '192.0.0.1 www.facebook.com' /etc/hosts'); this application having root privileges still it is not able to append it and displaying permission denied message. Can any one tell me what is the problem, or is there any other way to edit this file /etc/hosts. Mar 29, 2019 For example, sudo nano /etc/hosts will open the hosts file with root access. It's a good idea to make a backup before you edit any configuration files. To do this, enter sudo cp filepathofconfigfile newfilepath of backup.
