On OSX environments, if you have multiple viewers and multiple grids to connect to, you can try the following AppleScript (one could do something similar with a shell script). Feel free to copy and modify for your own use.
--
-- This script selects a viewer and a grid for virtual worlds.
--
--
-- Variables for the two supported viewers. More may be added here.
--
set lindenViewer to "\"/Applications/SecondLife/Second Life.app/Contents/MacOS/Second Life\""

set emeraldViewer to "\"/Applications/SecondLife/GreenLife Emerald Viewer.app/Contents/MacOS/GreenLife Emerald Viewer\""
--
-- Variables for options to select the specified grid. Since the viewers
-- are based on the 2nd life viewer, the options are the same for each
-- viewer. Also, connecting to the Second Life grid is the default option
-- if no other options are provided.
--
-- Currently, four grids are supported. More may be easily added.

set lindenOptions to ""
