Scripting my application launch process

Every day for work, there’s several applications I always use. The other day, I put together a quick and dirty bash script for opening all of them at once.

I’m terribly inexperienced at this, so don’t poke fun, only offer good suggestions for improvement…

[sourcecode language=“bash”] #!/bin/bash

# Open all of the requisite applications echo ‘Opening Chrome’ `open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/Google Chrome.app/` echo ‘Opening Skype’ `open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/Skype.app/` echo ‘Opening Sparrow’ `open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/Sparrow.app/` echo ‘Opening Linkus’ `open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/Linkinus.app/` echo ‘Opening Adium’ `open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/Adium.app/` [/sourcecode]
