Start programs from a shell script
 

How could I start at the same time several programs using a shell script ?

Thanks !

Hi,

You can put the '&' at the end of the of each program you wish to start.

The '&' actually runs the progra inthe background.

Hope it helps...

Thank you vishamr2000 I just tried your suggestion and it works perfectly. I have some of those programs which need to be started as root. Is that possible to do that from the shell script ?

Yes. Enter 'sudo <your command>', and configure sudo to allow the right user to execute the right commands as root without entering a password.

Yves.

Merci Yves! I 'm gonna have a look a bit closer to see how it gets configured.
