Can Any One assist me

In making a shell script to run 3 commands to get my tether up without running a bunch of commands?

Here are the commands i have to run in shell

Code:

root@Laptop:/home/chris# easytether enumerate

###########

root@Laptop:/home/chris# easytether connect

connection established

run 'sudo dhclient easytether0' to configure the network interface

press Ctrl-C to disconnect

The i have to run:

Code:

dhclient easytether0

In a separate window

If you want to put a job into the background and return the command prompt you can put & at the end of the line

Code:

#!/bin/bash

easytether enumerate

easytether connect &

dhclient easytether0

The problem with this is that the "easytether connect" command will exit when you close the terminal window. You could get around that by putting the commands in a bootscript
