How can I open a URL in Google Chrome from the terminal in OS X? This is what I'm trying: It focuses Chrome but does not open the URL.

Fix for: How can I open a URL in Google Chrome from the terminal in OS X?

Low Risk

Actually for me, the command is not working with the "--args" being present so the command working for me is OS X version: 10.6.8
