Re-launching Safari using Record and Run Settings in HP UFT

I plan on running test scripts from UFT in a Safari browser in a Mac environment. I understand UFT 12.02 supports such functionality through its “Record and Run Settings” where users could select “Apple Safari (on remote Mac computer)” to launch Safari on a remote Mac to run test cases on.

However, is there a way to re-launch the Safari browser remotely after closing it, without having to go through the Record and Run Settings panel? That's one of my test cases.

Just to clarify, I currently use the Systemutil.Run function on Windows to help re-launch browsers automatically after closing them. Based on my understanding and trials, that function is designed to only work on Windows.

Is there a similar function we could use on Mac to re-launch Safari?

SystemUtil.Run is for running stuff on the local machine, you want to be using RemoteConnection.

According to the documentation RemoteConnection.Run "safari" can be used to launch Safari.

I'm not sure what format the Appliation parameter should be (full path or just "safari") since I don't have a Mac at hand. Please update if it works so future seekers will have a full answer. (thanks to @Stephan for answering this in the comment).
