Linux version web-browser config

[Ben Luey]

I installed LabView 7 express for Linux (debian) and when I went to the help menu, I was asked for the location of my web-browser and then when I used the on-line help, it opened that web-browser. How do I configure how labview is calling my web-browser? I want it to run "webbrowser -flags URL" and now it is just running "webbrowser URL" Thanks

There should be a .lvbrowser file in your home directory. It contains the path to the executable to use. I'm not sure if it allows you to specify command line options in this file, if not, just create a wrapper shell script to call the browser with your options.

cat > mylvbrowser.sh
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/local/bin/webbrowser -flags "$@"
^D # (control-D)
chmod 755 mylvbrowser.sh
