How to run installed apps from the command line

[Cue]

I'm curious as to how I can run applications that I put in the "Applications" folder from the console.

Did a rough search, couldn't find anything on the subject.

TIA.

The easy way is to use the built-in open command. man open for details.

open -a "Adobe Photoshop CS2" will run the app.

open -a "Adobe Photoshop CS2" meow.psd will run PS and open your file for editing.
