I may have stated this before (I'm getting older and I'm not sure who I've told what stories ;) ), but my coding experience comes from plugging what I want to do in Google and now ChatGPT.

?

I have both Flrig and Fldigi compiled and working. I also have CrossOver (I already had a sub for my Mac) installed with a few apps in it for which there are no good Linux replacements. What I would like to do is write a script that starts Flrig, Fldigi, and a program from CrossOver called AlertCenter. I have the script written so that it starts Flrig, Fldigi, and CrossOver but it won't start the program I'm trying to start (the program *does* start if I manually start it in CrossOver).

If it helps, here's the final version of script after it not running successfully on previous attempts:

#!/bin/bash

?

flrig &

?

fldigi &

?

CROSSOVER_PATH="/opt/cxoffice/bin/crossover"

?

BOTTLE_NAME="SHARES_AlertCenter"

?

EXE_PATH="C:\\AlertCenter\\AlertCenter.exe"

?

"$CROSSOVER_PATH" run "$BOTTLE_NAME" "$EXE_PATH" &

?

I tried what I do on my Mac - copy the shortcut of the program in CrossOver to a text editor. In macOS, that copies the shortcut; in Linux, it copied the desktop information for the program. If the shortcut is in there, I couldn't decipher it.

?

I also tried to create a script with just the single program and I get the same result - CrossOver starts but the program does not. I can also run the script and, after everything's up and running, I just double-click the program inside the CrossOver window. I can do that but I'd rather have them all start when I run the script.

I have checked my paths and everything seems correct I just cannot make that final step. Am I missing something or cannot I just not do what I've intended to do?

?
