How to start up a default internet browser programmatically on linux?
hi,
I have been working on a Linux program, and now I am stuck with one last functionality I can't figure out. It is how to startup a default internet browser on a user's computer with a URL.
I have tried to run a shell execution on:
netscape <URL> | mozzila <URL> | lynx <URL>
but it only work if netscape exists, but won't go any further if if doesn't.
