As you are not the first to mess up the script, I should write a default
warning... ;-)

As I said, your script has an error. Both, the '=' and the second '-'
char are *bogus* and will cause Firebird to not recognize the -remote
command.

Additionally, both "firebird"s in the script need the full path, if you
don't have it in your path.


Again, the script how it should be. Please watch any additional char,
unless you know what you are changing. (The she-bang line starting with
'#' should be the *first* line of the script.)

--- firebird-remote.sh ---

#!/bin/sh
firebird -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || firebird $1 &

--- end ---


Set *both* 'firebird' strings to the actual binary, if not in $PATH.
Alternatively, if 'firebird' isn't in your path, do it like this:

--- firebird-remote.sh ---

#!/bin/sh
firebird=/usr/X11R6/bin/firebird
$firebird -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || $firebird $1 &

--- end ---

Adjust the second line to match the path to the firebird executable. If
'which firebird' returns the executable and you can run 'firebird' from
a terminal, you can safely use the first variant.


Hope, that gets your firebird finally fly... ;)
