The _l_a_u_n_c_h_W_e_b_J_u_m_p_e_r 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 _w_e_b_j_u_m_p_e_r(_1) icon. Also the
user can run it at a Unix shell command line.
----nnnn Use Netscape, ignoring the user's chosen Web browser.
The optional _j_u_m_p_s_i_t_e and _U_R_L arguments specify which page(s) to load.
Each page appears in a separate browser window. Given no arguments,
_l_a_u_n_c_h_W_e_b_J_u_m_p_e_r 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.
NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
_l_a_u_n_c_h_W_e_b_J_u_m_p_e_r tries to reuse an extant Netscape process, using
Netscape's ----rrrreeeemmmmooootttteeee """"ooooppppeeeennnnUUUURRRRLLLL((((_U_R_L,,,, nnnneeeewwww----wwwwiiiinnnnddddoooowwww))))"""" 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.
_l_a_u_n_c_h_W_e_b_J_u_m_p_e_r 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.
