Shell script opens url's in default browser

[chris2]

I got this from: http://macosx.com/forums/software-programming-web-scripting/35377-using-applescript-open-web-browser-go-site.html

#!/bin/sh

functions

opennew is a function to create a new Safari window

opennew () {
osascript <<EOF
tell application “Safari”
activate
make new document at beginning of documents
end tell
EOF
sleep 5
}

open a new Safari window then loads the urls listed below into that new window.

note the last url in the list does NOT have a trailing fwd slash

opennew
open “http://url1”
“http://url2”
“http://url3”
“http://url4”

open another window, load more urls

opennew
open “http://url5”
“http://url6”
“http://url7”
“http://url8”

This shell script opens Safari and then opens urls in the default browser, not Safari. I cannot understand, why.

open - open file in its default application
