MacOS-like 'open'

One thing I enjoy on my work Mac is the 'open' command. For the uninitiated, the command is treated similar to xdg-open. This script, saved as /usr/local/bin/open has basically the same outcome as the Mac 'open' command. Try it in a directory, or try using it on some file.

xdg-open "$1" &> /dev/null &

Sometimes the simplest of things become handy. Figured I would share, cheers.
