On OS X, most .app "files" are packages, which is just a directory with
a special structure. You can use "Show Package Contents" from the
Finder contextual menu, or cd into them using Terminal. The actual
binary is buried inside; to run it UNIX-style, type:
> /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend.app/Contents/MacOS/mythfrontend
This will allow you to see the output and pass command-line arguments.
