Bash shell script question...
Let's say I have a script that opens Gedit when Gnome comes on in Ubuntu, how would I make the script so that 2 or more Gedits open when I boot into Gnome??
Basically it would just launch 2 or more Gedit's simultaneously-but could I also make it so that there is a slight pause before each one opens, so that it won't overload something-like a 1 second pause between instances appearing?? And no, I'm not really talking about Gedit, but any app... Thanks |
Code:
for num in 1 2 3; do |
OK-but I gotta break down and tell you what I'm trying to do for my own clarity...
With Billix there is a script- "dsl-linux.sh", which brings up an instance of Qemu playing DSL out of the folder/USB/CD. I have modified this script heavily and have it working correctly-'cause if you use Billix and try to use this script it won't work 'cause there are piece's missing from the Billix Qemu folder. Anyway, I have fixed the script and added the missing components and everything works great now-see screen shot here-reply#92 ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-works-714322/ ) Anyway-so I wanna be able to invoke the script and call up the Qemu's one at a time-but automatically and make it so that it can ad-infinitum by uncommenting,etc. |
Sorry-I forgot to include the script!
Code:
qemu/qemu -L qemu/ -soundhw sb16 |
Here's my script so far but I can't figure out how to make it pop up 1 or more Qemu's simultaneously once invoked.
As it is now it opens and runs 1 Qemu, then when ypu click on the X button to kill Qemu another pops up, etc. That's not what I want..how do I make it pop up each instance of Qemu automatically at about an interval of 1-3 seconds??? Code:
#!/bin/sh |
you could add the "&" to put the process in the background.
|
What do you mean "&", put it where?
Basically when I invoke the script I want 1+ instances of Qemu playing DSL. Each instance would "appear" at about a second apart or so. So, it needs to have a variable to set how many pop up and how far apart in time they each pop up-right? Like say I want it to open 3 Qemu's at 2 seconds apart-like that. |
Code:
for num in 1 2 3; do |
Your A Bad MoFO Repo!
Ha! Here's what I got now-calls each one up about a second apart too. Code:
#!/bin/shso I removed the "Path" command. How do I get it to find the dsl-linux.sh, I tried "Path=dsl-linux.sh" and "Path=/dsl-linux.sh" neither worked but it's all in the same folder. I don't need it but would like to know. And thanks Repo-you get the official name of the script-"repolator.sh" or what? |
is dsl-linux.sh the script you want to execute?
I don't see it in the script... perhaps ./dsl-linux.sh & |
That's the entirety of dsl-linux.sh below no bin bash or anything.
That's the original from Billix-0.24 Code:
qemu/qemu -L qemu/ -soundhw sb16 If you've been reading my post about my multidistro stuff-I couldn't get dsl-linux.sh to work, so i started looking around in the Billix/qemu folder snd it's missing both "qemu" and "harddisk"! I found an obscure UK mirror hosting Billix old and new, was able to peer inside each one and discovered Billix-0.18 was the last time the qemu folder had "qemu" and "harddisk"! This kinda pissed me off 'cause whoever puts out Billix has put out 4 versions since 0.18 and none of them work! I downloaded ver 0.18, added the "qemu" and "harddisk" to the 0.24 qemu folder and it still wouldn't go! Damn it Jim! I now have it down pat-maybe. The original line above has been modified to my version at the above reply. The "harddisk" thing is 48MB and must be DSL or something 'cause when I did get 0.24 working, an old version of DSL popped up-because it was using the "harddisk" from 0.18 which has an older version of DSL! To make problems worse-the DSL folder in Billix-0.24 is named"KNOPPIX" and would not work till I made it "DSL" So, after editing it this whole weekend and hunting down google I finally got it! Wanna see a cool screen shot? The screenshot on my "project post", reply#92 That's Billix DSL running live off my USB while 3 Qemu's play-note only 125MB RAM used too! ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...322/page7.html ) Anyway Repo I got it all working now and about to release my greatest ever MultiDistro-ToolKit-v4.20 for CD/USB! Now it can play DSL on Qemu ad-infinitum via "repolator.sh"! The new multidistro is 492MB and has all this- 1 SystemRescueCD-1.1.7 (just came out today) 2 UltimateBootCD-4.1.1 3 DSL-4.4.10 (w/"repolator.sh" & "repolator.bat" for Linux/Windows) 4 NetbootCD-2.2 (net-installs Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/Slackware/CentOS/OpenSUSE and Mandriva! 5 ZorOS-3.4 (Slackware based-awesome HW detection! 6 NTPassWord 7 Balder(FreeDOS) That's a hellacious toolkit for a 512MB USB huh? I'm getting ready to upload it now... |
OK-now how do I make the .bat file do the same as the repolator.sh?
That is, create multiple instances of qemu when it's executed? Code:
REM Start qemu on windows. |
