If there _is_ a "sitting at the screen" user. Make sure your script fails gracefully if no-one is logged in.
Better yet, if COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL is set, skip this entirely.

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?
