How can I open Sublime Text 2 files from the command line in linux to a tab, not a new window

Question

I have ST2 setup so that I can do \'sublime file.txt\' and it will open in a ST2 window. But how can I make it open in a new tab in the currently open window?

Answer 1

This works on Ubuntu 12.04:

subl filename

or

subl -n filename (if you want it to open in a seperate window)
