My fault for not testing what you are doing. You were correct in a previous reply to one of my post where you changed xdg-open to actual browser. Here is my working test case. #!/bin/bash _url_fn=t.data while read -r url ; do xdg-open "$url" & sleep 4 pkill -u $USER firefox done < $_url_fn

You are absolutely correct. Having followed this thread from the beginning that is not going to be the only problem which will arise. > He needs to explain what he is trying to accomplish.

Yes, I am just experimenting this way which and how it will helps to my work. If am going in a wrong way please correct because i am not expert in shell and commands. Also is there any books which can i refer for these types of stuff. Right now i am going with some shell scripting books. |
