Didn't know if this should go in the Mac specific forum, but being that it's related to only the test client I figured it was appropriate.
For those who use mac, here's how you can setup a alias to launch the test client with ease from the terminal.

These instructions assume you've already setup a test client.

1. Open up your .bash_profile with your favorite editor.
$ pico ~/.bash_profile

2. Add the alias, you can replace evebuckingham with whatever name you want.
alias evebuckingham="open /Applications/EVE\ Online\ BUCKINGHAM.app --args /server:87.237.38.69"

3. Save and close the file

4. Load/reload your profile
$ source ~/.bash_profile

5. Now try out your brand new alias. Hint: As you start to type the name, press tab to autocomplete.
$ evebuckingham
