Quick overview
- OcLaunch: /oklɔːntʃ/
- Libre command-line program allowing you to launch program on a human basis. Don't let a clock plan things!
Since it's a command-line tool, you can use it almost everything, from GUI to CRON task.
The purpose of OcLaunch is to easily launch command once per session. For example, open a different program, one by one, each time you open your terminal. Learn more in the FAQ.
Les francophones disposent de cette présentation en français.
Launch commands, one drop at time
For example, here is a typical session (you open a terminal emulator between each item):
- You open your first terminal, your chat client is opened,
- On second launch of a terminal, your task list is displayed,
- On third launch, everything has been done. You will not see anything more.
Benefits
You enjoyed the many benefits of OcLaunch:
- Ability to launch command-line program easily on start up
- See your task being done alone
- Easiness of edit, disablement and review.
And, last but not least, it is a free/libre software, supported on UNIX-like systems, especially GNU/Linux. Contributions are welcome!
