Launch & Run Multiple Instances of Any Application in Mac OS X
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/04/17
I needed a second instance of Atom to run on a second monitor:
open -n /Applications/Atom.app
Or even shorter:
open -na Atom
I got there via: Launch & Run Multiple Instances of Any Application in Mac OS X
The reason is that searching for Mac OS X start second Atom instance does not reveal satisfactory results, as the tips in these links all fail:
- How to open two instances of Atom on a Mac? – packages – Atom Discussion
- `open` opens a new instance of atom rather than existing instance · Issue #8437 · atom/atom (as the issue seems fixed)
