Command-Line – Equivalent of ‘readlink’ for Mac Aliases

After more googling, I was able to pull together the pieces for an osascript command:

alias_path="your/alias/path"
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder"' -e "posix path of (original item of alias file (posix file \"$alias_path\") as text)" -e 'end tell'

The Mac equivalent of Windows “start” command

osascript -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to do script \"cd $(read); ~/path/to/someScript.sh\""

should work. You can replace $(read) with a variable.
