Preflight and Postflight scripts run as root.
Investigate this:
su $USER -c "open http://foo.com";
($USER is the sitting-at-the-screen user.)

In our package postflight installer script, we use the open command to launch our web page which contains some getting started info. However, calling 'open http://foo.com' from the installer script opens Safari rather than the user's preferred browser. Yet the same line in my user terminal causes the correct browser to open, so clearly the installer env is missing something to invoke the correct browser. Anyone know the best way to address this?
