Mac OS X has the very convenient open command to open any file from the command line in the same way that the Finder would.
thilo$ open a.pdf
Is there a similar command for opening the file with Quick Look?

qlmanage -p file will do what you want, I think.

`qlmanage -p /PATH/TO/FILE` works like a charm. If you need more info check `man qlmanage` – Chealion Jan 09 '10 at 08:39

5I have it aliased to `qlmanage -p 2>/dev/null` to suppress error messages. – Doug Harris Feb 25 '10 at 16:56
