== launchy * Homepage[http://www.copiousfreetime.org/projects/launchy/] * {Github Project}[http://github.com/copiousfreetime/launchy] * email jeremy at hinegardner dot org == DESCRIPTION Launchy is helper class for launching cross-platform applications in a fire and forget manner. There are application concepts (browser, email client, etc) that are common across all platforms, and they may be launched differently on each platform. Launchy is here to make a common approach to launching external application from within ruby programs. == FEATURES Currently only launching a browser is supported. == SYNOPSIS From within your ruby code you can trust launchy to do the right thing: Launchy.open("http://www.ruby-lang.org/") Or, if you want to launch the application yourself: Launchy::Browser.run("http://www.ruby-lang.org/") OR Launchy::Browser.new.visit("http://www.ruby-lang.org/") == ISC LICENSE http://opensource.org/licenses/isc-license.txt Copyright (c) 2007-2011 Jeremy Hinegardner Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.
