Hi
the chiron /b command works on mac and windows but AFAIK it doesn''t on
linux based systems.
On debian and ubuntu systems often there is a package xdg-open installed which
provides the same functionality as start on windows and open on mac.
So if you check for the existence of xdg-open the experience on linux can be
similar to the one on the other OS''es.
Ruby code:
system "xdg-open #{chiron_url}" if `which xdg-open`.chomp !=
""
Cheers
Ivan

Ivan,
Shouldn''t that be a Mono bug then? Chiron just uses the .NET APIs for
starting a process:
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new
ProcessStartInfo("http://localhost:2060");
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = startInfo;
p.Start();
Are you still using Chiron for SL development? If so, any reason why
you''re still using it? Or are you using it just because it''s a
convenient local web-server?
~Jimmy

FYI, Chiron''s switches can either be prefixed by a "/" or a
"-" ... so you can use a dash if that feels more natural:
mono Chiron.exe -b
