K1000: Best way to open a url via script on Mac

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I'm trying to open a URL on demand via KACE.  I've tried creating an online shell script with:

open http://google.com

It works fine when I run it locally on the Mac - but not via the KACE Script I created.  I get the error:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application...

I also tried moving the command into a separate script, adding it as a dependency and calling it via the KACE Script - but I get the same error.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

 

Cheers,

Kev

This works as a online shell script.  Works for me.  

open -a Safari http://google.com

  • and yet not for me!

    I get:
    LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/Safari.app with error -10810 for the URL http://google.com.

    I tried running the script as 'User logged in to console' & 'local system' - but I get the same result.

    If I browse to the cached script location using Terminal on the Mac and run it using sudo, it works fine.

    Any ideas what might cause this? - knug 10 years ago
