of a browser, pointing at the given page.
OPTIONS

- Execute a command inside Netscape.
- --raise
- Raise the Netscape window after commands.

- --newwin
- Show the given URL in a new window
- --local

CONFIGURATION
Without a configuration file, gnome-moz-remote will assume it should
use either Netscape or Mozilla. When starting a new web browser, it
will try to find a mozilla binary. If it finds one, it will use it.
If not, it will start netscape instead.
- If you want to start a different browser instead of the default, create a file named ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote with the following contents:
- [Mozilla]
filename=netscape
NEEDS_TERM=false
NREMOTE=true - If the web browser needs a terminal, set NEEDS_TERM to true. If the web browser understands the Netscape Remote Protocol,
http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html- set NREMOTE to true. Otherwise, it should be false. As of this writing, only Mozilla and Netscape support this protocol, although it would be trivial to add support to other Open Source browsers.
- Note that if you set NREMOTE to false, gnome-moz-remote will never try to contact a currently running browser, but will always start a new instance.
