Indeed - for one thing it's guess wrong on multiuser machines.
Also, wouldn't an if be more succint:
if [ -n "$a" ]
then netscape '-remote "openURL($1)"'
else netscape "$1"
fi
? And surely this doesn't work. The quoting's wrong. This:
netscape '-remote "openURL($1)"'
should really be this:
netscape -remote "openURL($1)"
Oh, I get it - you're surviving because on RedHat, the "netscape" command is
itself a script which grossly buggers the quoting, undoing your misquoting.
Scarey :-)
