open Netscape in Unix

[duckiebear]

Does anyone know how to launch the netscape browser using a csh script. I'm trying to run commands such as:

netscape -remote 'openURL [URL unfurl="true"]http://sspweb.jsc.nasa.gov)'[/URL]
		 -remote 'saveAs(/tmp/temp)' &

And I don't want to have to manually open Netscape every time to make it work. So, I need a csh script that will open the netscape browser and then perform the openURL and saveAs functions.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

shouldn't that be

netscape -remote 'openURL (

http://sspweb.jsc.nasa.gov)'

or
netscape -remote \'openURL (

http://sspweb.jsc.nasa.gov)\'

?

Well if you're looking to just grab a page and save it as a file, then it's much better IMO to use one of the web page grabbing tools.

For example
[tt]curl --output foo.html

http://sspweb.jsc.nasa.gov

I don't know if netscape suppresses the user interface whilst it's doing remote stuff, but it would be majorly annoying if it didn't.

No, netscape doesn't suppress the user interface and that was a problem.

And, yes stephanwagner, that was a typo I made in here, but my code was correct. I used the
netscape -remote 'openURL (

http://sspweb.jsc.nasa.gov)'

Thanks.
