macos - Launch an app on OS X with command line

Question

I want to launch an app on OSX from a script. I need pass it command line arguments. Unfortunately, open doesn't accept command line args.

The only option I can think of is to use nohup myApp > /dev/null & to launch my app so it can exist independently of the script that launches it.

Any better suggestions?

As was mentioned in the question here, the open command in 10.6 now has an args flag, so you can call:

open -n ./AppName.app --args -AppCommandLineArg
