I have seen ways to open applications on linux and Mac devices but can't seem to get the same idea working for iOS devices.
I have jailbroken my device and have ssh access and would like to open an app without having to visit the device?
This idea but for iOS and to open a Kiosk app or Safari.
You can do this with the open
utility that's available on the Cydia store. Download open
from Cydia, and then you can use it to start any installed app at the command line, using its bundle ID (e.g. com.mycompany.MyAppName).
