Alternatively:
netscape -remote 'openURL(http://www.foo.net/, mutt-ns)'
will open http://www.foo.net/ in a netscape window with the name
"mutt-ns". (Each NS windows may have an internally-associated name.)
If mutt-ns does not exist, it will be launched as a new window.
If the comma and window name are not present, the default NS window
will be used. You just have to have NS running already. (This is a
behavioral change from the original implementation of the -remote
interface -- NS 3.0, maybe 2.0? -- where a -remote command would start
Netscape if it was not running already.)
So, you could test for Netscape's being mapped with
xlswins | grep Netscape
then start netscape if that fails, and wait for it to map before simply
using the -remote command. Something like:
#!/bin/sh
## uncomment to use a separate window for urlview/mutt
#WINDOW=", mutt-ns"
not () {
if "$@"; then
false
else
true
fi
}
ns_mapped () {
xlswins | grep Netscape: >/dev/null
}
if not ns_mapped; then
netscape &
fi
while not ns_mapped; do
## Should have a check here in case netscape never maps for some reason
sleep 2
done
netscape -remote "openURL($1$WINDOW)"
That should approximately work. I use lynx or w3m, so I'm not
completely sure.
Zach, your config is weird. You're sending to mutt-users, but it's not
in the header, so responses to your mail don't go the list by default.
