Sysadmin Field Notes

Finally; opening Finder windows from bash in the current directory.

March 3, 2006

I've been wondering for a while now, and finally found out how to open a finder window from bash, in the current directory. On windows in cygwin, I use cmd /c start .

For Mac OS X, the magic incantation is: open -a finder .

Whew.

Update:

open .

Works just as well.
