http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.htmlthe functionality described in the above webpage applies to any moz-based browser, afaik, and is more or less self-explanatory. but for demonstration:
#!/bin/sh
SEAMONKEY_PATH=/opt/seamonkey/bin/seamonkey
if $SEAMONKEY_PATH -remote 'ping()' &> /dev/null; then
exec $SEAMONKEY_PATH -remote "openURL($1,new-tab)"
else
exec $SEAMONKEY_PATH $1
fiThis example script checks if an instance of Seamonkey is running with the remote ping() function. If so, it opens a new tab in this running process with openURL(someURL,new-tab). Otherwise, it initiates a completely new Seamonkey process with the given URL as its one and only tab
(Note that the argument referenced by $1 must be a proper URL; that is, file:///home/hanumizzle and
http://www.vectorlinux.com are both halal, but plain /home/hanumizzle isn't)
