Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24870

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

automatically moving this bug from bugsplat to bugzilla failed.

so I'm doing it by hand.

here's the bugsplat log:

right now, we don't support the -aim command line argument to launch just aim in
5.0

Is this a Linux only option or Windows as well?

it would on all three platforms.

on mac, to exercise it, we'd have a "Mozilla AIM" file that had one line,
args:-aim

see mozilla/xpfe/bootstrap/Mozilla_Editor for an example.

will need to move xpfe/bootstrap over into the ns tree in order to accomplish
this, no problem.

I'll take a look at this


------- Additional Comments From amusil  Jan-12-2000 16:44 ------- 

This can already be achieved by:

mozilla.exe -chrome chrome://aim/content/App.xul

does this work OK for you?  Is there a way (w/o having to modify C++ code) to 
make -aim equivalent to this?

this used to be bug http://scopus/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=368159

adding travis to the cc list.

the whole point of this bug is we won't be hard coding each command line
argument, we'll be using XPCOM to accomplish this.
