Script Launcher

A versatile and user-friendly CLI tool for managing and launching your scripts and applications with custom arguments.

Features

• 🚀 Launch multiple scripts or applications with a single command
• 🎨 Colorful and intuitive CLI interface
• ✏️ Quick edit functionality for scripts
• 🔧 Support for custom arguments for each script/app
• 🖥️ Opens each script in a new terminal window

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Rich library (pip install rich)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/script-launcher.git
   cd script-launcher
   

2. Install the required Python library:

   pip install rich
   

3. Configure your scripts in script_config.py.

Configuration

Edit the script_config.py file to add your scripts and applications. Here's an example configuration:

SCRIPTS = [
    {
        "name": "My Python Script",
        "path": "~/projects/myscript.py",
        "working_dir": "~/projects",
        "is_python": True,
        "args": "-v --output result.txt"
    },
    {
        "name": "Custom App",
        "path": "~/apps/myapp",
        "working_dir": "~/apps",
        "is_python": False,
        "args": "-t 0 -d 1 -gpu"
    },
]

Usage

Run the script launcher:

python3 script_launcher.py

• Enter the numbers of the scripts you want to launch, separated by spaces.
• Append * to a number to open the script for editing instead of launching.
• Enter 'q' to quit the application.

Example:

1 2 3*

This will launch scripts 1 and 2, and open script 3 for editing.

Creating a Desktop Shortcut

To create a desktop shortcut:

1. Create a .desktop file named script-launcher.desktop with the following content:

   [Desktop Entry]
   Version=1.0
   Type=Application
   Name=Script Launcher
   Comment=Launch custom scripts
   Exec=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/your/script_launcher.py
   Icon=/path/to/your/icon.png
   Terminal=true
   Categories=Utility;Development;
   

2. Replace /path/to/your/script_launcher.py with the actual path to your script.

3. Choose an icon and replace /path/to/your/icon.png with its path.

4. Make the file executable: chmod +x script-launcher.desktop

5. Move the file to your desktop: mv script-launcher.desktop ~/Desktop/
