  • Linux Bash Script

    Would the following script work to start the BBS on the second workspace?
    I already have the script setup in the autostart options, but added the wmctrl line because I want it to open the terminal window and start the BBS on the second workspace.

    #!/bin/bash
    (command &); wmctrl -r "Window Title" -t 1
    cd /mystic/semaphore
    rm *.bsy
    cd /mystic
    ./mis -server

    Without testing I cannot confirm, but it looks like it.

    Why not create a systemd service instead?
