This script used to run (open) multiple konsoles at a time (in KDE 4)

Code: Select all

ychaouche#Bahloola 12:05:36 ~ $ cat /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/monitoring
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.activity           
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.banlog.expect     
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.fail2ban.log.expect
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.mailcop.expect     
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/dns_secours.querylog.expect   
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.externalaccess     
ychaouche#Bahloola 12:05:39 ~ $


But now it only opens one konsole, and doesn't open the second konsole until I close the first one. How can I get the old behavior ?

Try appending an ampersand symbol at the end of each line, which starts each command in the background.

Code: Select all

konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.activity &           
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.banlog.expect  &
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.fail2ban.log.expect &
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.mailcop.expect &
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/dns_secours.querylog.expect &
konsole -e /home/ychaouche/SCRIPTS/messagerie.externalaccess &
