Pass an argument to a bundle application under MacOSX

[Matt Connolly]

Don,

If you needed to run it as a script, you could create a script  
command to launch the application. Save a text file as  
"launch.command", with something like this:

---
#!/bin/sh

/path/to/MyApplication.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApplication --command- 
line-argument


---

The "launch.command" file needs to executable (as in linux). The draw  
back is that it launches the Terminal application and runs from a  
window there. Even if you append a "&" at the end of the command  
line, closing the Terminal window will terminate the application. Of  
course, if it's a console application, this isn't a problem. :)

Otherwise, my best "mac friendly" solution would be to create a  
document type in the application's launch bundle, and have the user  
launch the application via a "document" for an alternate running mode.

Best,
Matt
