How can I execute script using command line(Terminal) in MAC?

Question

In Windows, executing Illustrator with script file path string executes script.

For example, when Illustrator is running, command line below executes script "C:\Users\user\tmp.js"

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2022\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe" "C:\Users\user\tmp.js"

But in MAC, this kind of thing doesn't work.

when Illustrator is running, executing terminal below does not execute script "Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2022/tmp.js".

open "/Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2022/Adobe Illustrator.app" --args "Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2022/tmp.js"

How can I do this in MAC?

This works for me... The `-a` flag tells the open command which program to open the file with.open -a Adobe\ Illustrator ~/test.js
