A shell script to start ham radio apps

start-trimode.sh is a shell script to start ham radio apps in a multi-desktop environment. It's written for use on a Raspberry Pi, but it can be adapted to any version of Linux.

This is a rough draft. Parts of it are hard-coded for my setup, and require work to make it more "universal".

It assumes you're using the following apps, and that they're already installed and set-up correctly:

flrig fldigi flmsg flamp JS8Call piARDOPC piARDOP_GUI gARIM

It also requires xdotool to control the apps and switch desktops, so if you don't already have that installed, you'll need to install it. In a terminal window, type:

sudo apt-get update && supdo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install xdotool -y
