Ask your friend which software it is and use it. Else give some more details like language.

I will probably try to program that in tcl/tk, but that's me.

Does it need to be graphical/"console-graphical", or would it do to have a menu like

Code:

MENU

1 - Launch 1.out
2 - Launch 2.out
3 - Launch 3.out

Your choice: _

If that's all right with you, then check out linuxcommand.org and there how you'll write shell scripts. A very easy thing, takes a minute or so.

But if you do want a somewhat "graphical" button-thingie, then you're going to have to use something else..

the problem is that our professor want a graphic menu

type the following on an xterm: (cut and paste will do)

Code:

$ wish 
button .b1 -text 'hello' -command {exit}
pack .b1

tcl/tk by the way.

guys you forget something that i must use the mouse to click on the boutton so if i click on menu one it runs the application menu1.out
same thing for the rest of the menu

We forgot something?

the clue is,

-command exit

I think you have enough to complete your homework
