README

launch

A quick upgrade to a shell function -- launch a bunch of processes in the background, ignoring their output. I use this in a VM on a local system via ssh -X for launching Chromium and other GUI apps.

Installation

Download the binary.

Usage

At a command line, type "launch" followed by a series of comma-separated commands. For example,

launch chromium-browser https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest, gvim src/launch.cr

would launch Chromium and open it to the Crystal docs, and open gvim on the source file. Note the position of the comma.
