good day gentalmen,

I have one question:

I have 3 scripts and I want to put them in one script when I run it. It will open the 3 scripts in different 3 terminals instead of run each one alone. ……plz help me out.

These are the names of the scripts.

1. mon.sh
2. opr2.sh
3. opermenu.sh

regards,

I'm not sure I understand the problem. You want to run these three scripts sequentially from one main script?

yes plz

form one main script.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

for script in mon.sh opr2.sh opermenu.sh ; do
  xterm -e "$script"
done

If you want all three windows open at the same time:

Code:

#!/bin/bash


let i=0
for script in mon.sh opr2.sh opermenu.sh ; do
  xterm -e "$script" &
  pids[$i]=$!
  let i++
done

for pid in ${pids[@]} ; do
  wait $pid
done

thanks but I want to open the 3 scripts in a terminal not in xterm. Moremover, when I write the last script that you gave me it "
#!/bin/bash
let i=0
for script in mon.sh opr2.sh opermenu.sh ; do
xterm -e "$script" &
pids[$i]=$!
let i++
done

for pid in ${pids[@]} ; do
wait $pid
done

it opens the scripts in sequence not in the same time...

thanks for your cooperations and promote responde.

Sorry, I'm not clear on what a "terminal" is (xterm is short for X terminal ...).

Well it doesn't start them at exactly the same time, but I don't think that's really possible. What I meant by "open at the same time", is that it won't wait for the first to finish before opening the second one.
