Running one of the browser visualization commands in pprof on windows (eg: weblist)
produces the following error:

(pprof) weblist
exec: "/usr/bin/open": file does not exist

This happens because it attempts to execute echo of the following programs (as seen at
https://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/src/cmd/pprof/internal/commands/commands.go#82)

var browsers = []string{"chrome", "google-chrome",
"firefox", "/usr/bin/open"}

None of these commands work on Windows because neither Chrome nor Firefox update PATH to
allow themselves to be run from the command line, and the last command is OS X specific
to let the OS find the correct program.

Comment 2:

I'm not sure how the "s/echo/one/" typo happened...
By adding the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application" directory (the default
install location for chrome on x86-64 machines) to PATH does allow the browser to be
found by pprof, and the result to be shown, so there doesn't look to be anything else
wrong with the functionality.

Comment 3:

on windows, it should use "cmd /c start".
cookieo9, could you please give https://golang.org/cl/180380043 a try?
iant, do you think this is good for 1.4?

Owner changed to @minux.

Status changed to Started.

Comment 4:

btw, I think we should also add xdg-open as a fallback for linux.

Comment 5:

I don't have a dev/tip environment set up for windows, but I applied the
change to 1.4rc1 by hand, manually rebuilt cmd/pprof and got the following:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process.
If I find the time I'll set up a proper testing environment and try the CL.

Comment 7:

#6: It seems to work when applied manually, although I found it annoying that the
function in question has both tempfile and tempFile variables.
