Bash command to fix a quirk with Sublime Text 2's "subl" command. Sometimes, when using it, under hard-to-pinpoint circumstances, it will open up Sublime Text 2 completely blank (i.e. the file you asked it to open will not be open). This snippet fixes that by essentially kicking subl under the table to wake it up and then passing on the command …

gistfile1.sh

function subl() {
	if [[ ! -p /dev/stdin ]]; then
		command subl > /dev/null 2>&1
	fi
	command subl "$@"
}

Thank you!

Awesome!

Thanks, this was super annoying and seemed to happen about 1 out of 3 times (sometimes repeatedly.

Nice. I do think that checking whether standard input is redirected (i.e., stdin isn't the terminal but comes from a pipe or a redirected file) is more portably done via test -t 0. Thus

function subl() {
  if [[ -t 0 ]]; then
    command subl > /dev/null 2>&1
  fi
  command subl $@
}

Oh man, thank you so much for this. That used to be such a PITA.
