NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     launchWebJumper - open a webjumper	or URL,	avoiding locked-cache messages

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/sbin/launchWebJumper [-n] [jumpsite ...] [URL	...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The launchWebJumper script	opens a	webjumper or URL into the user's Web
     browser.  The script runs when the	user chooses Internet >	Open Web
     Browser on	the toolchest or double-clicks a webjumper(1) icon.  Also the
     user can run it at	a Unix shell command line.


     -n	     Use Netscape, ignoring the	user's chosen Web browser.


     The optional jumpsite and URL arguments specify which page(s) to load.
     Each page appears in a separate browser window.  Given no arguments,
     launchWebJumper opens the user's chosen Web browser and loads the Silicon
     Graphics "Welcome to the Web" page.  If the user has not chosen a
     favorite Web browser, the script uses Netscape.


     For more information about	the entire IRIX	Interactive Desktop
     environment, see the IID(1) man page.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     launchWebJumper tries to reuse an extant Netscape process,	using
     Netscape's	-remote	"openURL(URL, new-window)" interface.  If Netscape has
     quit or is	not fully started, it will fail.  If users leave Netscape
     running during their session, they	can minimize these errors.


     launchWebJumper handles 3D	data specially.	 Opening a webjumper that
     points to a (possibly compressed) VRML or Inventor	location will cause
     the 3D data to download directly into CosmoPlayer or WebSpace.
