Many programming languages (Python, Java) have a function for opening a URL via the operating system (e.g. "http:..." opens a web browser, "mailto:..."; opens a mail client, etc.). Is there a cross-platform way to do the same in Node.js?
I am aware that this functionality is not really a good fit for Node.js as a server environment, but am finding that JavaScript shell scripting is a great gateway drug for Node.js adoption. And for that use case, opening URLs is tremendously useful. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
