Script to connect to Citrix server from the OSX command line.

Here is the script. I call it ica.

# ica
# Connect to a specific Citrix server from the command line
#
if [ -z $1 ]
  then
    echo
    echo Syntax: ica hostname
    echo
    echo  please enter a hostname
    echo
    kill -SIGINT $$
fi
icafile=tmp.ica
echo [WFCLient] > $icafile
echo Version = 2 >> $icafile
echo [ApplicationServers] >> $icafile
echo \; Name below will appear in the title bar of ICA client >> $icafile
echo \; It MUST be identical to the connectoid header >> $icafile
echo $1 = >> $icafile
echo \; connectoid header is in brackets below\; MUST match friendly name above >> $icafile
echo [$1] >> $icafile
echo \; Server IP address or DNS name goes here >> $icafile
echo Address = $1 >> $icafile
echo TransportDriver = TCP/IP >> $icafile
echo Username = >> $icafile
echo Compress = On >> $icafile
echo PersistentCacheEnabled = On >> $icafile
echo InitialProgram = >> $icafile
echo WinStationDriver = ICA 3.0 >> $icafile
echo DesiredColor = 0 >> $icafile
echo DesiredHRES = %width% >> $icafile
echo DesiredVRES = %height% >> $icafile

open $icafile

Here is how I use it.

ica (hostname or ip)

I copied the Windows Script below and ported it to OSX.
