Start Google Chrome on Mac with command line switches

Question

I've read you can start Google Chrome in kiosk mode in Windows by using the argument --kiosk.

I know how to do this on Windows, but how can I do this on Mac OS X?

And how can I run Google Chrome with the --kiosk argument on startup?

Thanks

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --kiosk works in OS X.

	You mean the argument doesn't work? The actual process of full screening Chrome is in the Mac version. Any hack to send a Cmd+Shift+F to get it to full screen? Thanks for your answer. – alex Jun 27 '10 at 23:52
	Ok. Can you try "ls /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS" (or something like that) and post that? – Andrew Jun 27 '10 at 23:58
	@Andrew I ran `ls /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS` and it printed 'Google Chrome' only. :S – alex Jun 28 '10 at 0:18

	@Andrew Thanks for that, and how would I run this on startup? Cheers. – alex Jul 1 '10 at 13:23
