mozilla profile annoyance

[Joe]

Hey.  I don't seem to have this problem.  I have 1.6 under MDK 9.1.  I 
had the problem under 1.4, I think, and solved it using the following 
scripts which you would have to customize for your user name and mozilla 
path.

#!/bin/bash
# Attributed to Dave Patton

if [[ `ps -e | grep mozilla` ]]
then
        #Mozilla is running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/mozilla -P bigbird -remote 'openURL('$1', 
new-window)'`
else
        #Mozilla is NOT running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/mozilla -P bigbird $1`
fi

#!/bin/bash
# mozmailrun - (C) 02/26/2004 - JPmicrosystems (gpl)

if [[ `ps -e | grep mozilla` ]]
then
        #Mozilla is running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/mozilla -P bigbird -remote 'xfeDoCommand 
(openInbox)'`
else
        #Mozilla is NOT running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/mozilla -P bigbird -mail`
fi
