How to set up OSX Safari browser for NetVault X11 GUI to view nvgui Help and Reports (4044530)

When using the NetVault X11 GUI on MAC OSX, a default browser needs to be set up in order to view HTML content used in NVBU Reports and Help sections.

There are several ways to declare the default browser, below is an example.

Create a script called "browser" in the /usr/netvault/scripts directory, with the NetVault Configurator pointing to it.

Here are the contents of a tested working script which includes details of how to set it up.

Just copy the content between the @@@ sections (but not the @@@ section markers themselves!) into a new file called "browser" and follow the included instructions:

@@@ START OF FILE CONTENT @@@
#!/bin/sh
# Filename: browser
############################################
# OSX X11 Safari NetVault Browser Launcher #
############################################
#
# [1] Place this file in /usr/netvault/scripts/
# [2] Make it executable from the above directory (as root) by:
# chmod +x browser
# [3] In the NetVault Configurator (nvconfigurator &), GUI, Browser
# sub-tab enter this as "Unix default Web Browser":
# /usr/netvault/scripts/browser
# Notes: 1. Do NOT place anything under "Unix browser switches"
# 2. You may need to Apply this with NetVault stopped
# for it to take effect.
# You should then be able to use both HTML Help and Reports under the
# standard X11 GUI (nvgui &) automatically.
#
open /Applications/Safari.app $1

@@@ END OF FILE CONTENT @@@

Note: The content looks better when viewed in a non-PS font. I have attached the actual "browser" script file, as used under OSX, so if this is able to be binary downloaded and binary copied to the machine, that would be even better.
