Description
Wessions can be thought of as a CLI version of waBa, I find this small script useful for laptops that have WIFI cards that take a moment to initialize. Bascially wessions is to be used with the Ubuntu application Sessions (gnome-session-properties, for the geekier of you), you would call the wessions.py file instead of the name of your application. This allows you to wait 10, 15, 20, or however many second before launching. This is useful, as I said, for laptops whose WIFI cards take a moment to connect to the internet, as this delay can cause ugly login windows to popup for instant messangers or applications like
checkgmail.
Launching
This is the basic syntax for wessions, for information on using it with Sessions, check your local library.
cd /path/to/wessions/folder
then type
chmod +x wessions.py
Then you can either launch wessions by typing
./wessions.py [time] [application1] [application2] [etc]
time = Amount of time to wait before launching, in seconds
application1 = First application or command to execute
application2 = Second application or command to execute
etc = Continue after application2 in the same style to launch more applications
Please note you need python and pygtk installed in order to run this script. And if your having troubles look at
www.python.org.
Usage
Refer to launching, as once the app is lauched, it goes on its own.
