I'm going to be a grouch here.<br>
<br>
The only nuances that aren't obvious in this situation are the<br>
Terminal/Window Manger you use and the specification of window size,<br>
The rest of what you asked is answered very well with the various<br>
documents explaining how to write bash scripts, as posted by dev null,<br>
and where you place your icon / your philosophy on how things should<br>
start up on boot.<br>
<br>
Unless you have ABSOLUTE physical control of this machine and its<br>
location, I would give great pause to having the window manager<br>
auto-login and do this unless you script in some sort of screen lock,<br>
but that would defeat your purpose in having the terminals displaying<br>
the information.<br>
<br>
Frankly, if at all possible, I'd ditch the window-manager altogether<br>
and do this in screen, but even then with your heavy concentration on<br>
other security matters, this may not be the solution you think it is.<br>
And I capitalized ABSOLUTE for a reason.<br>

So, my first question is how do I set up a basic script file with<br>
these commands in it. I can fill in all the details later.<br>
<br>
cd ~/cgminer<br>
export .....<br>
./cgminer .....<br>
<br>
Also, how do I put comments in the file?<br>
- --------<br>
END QUOTE<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
ummm...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
BEGIN SCRIPT<br>
- -------<br>
#!/bin/bash<br>
<br>
# Other than the required shell interpreter line<br>
# above, the hashed lines are comments.<br>
# This is a hash #<br>
<br>
cd ~/cgminer<br>
export .....<br>
./cgminer .....<br>
<br>
- -------<br>
END SCRIPT<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
BEGIN QUOTE<br>
- --------<br>
Finally, I want to create a master script to start all the other 4.<br>
Here's the trick. I want the master script to start each of the sub<br>
scripts in its own window and continue executing commands in the<br>
master script. I don't want the master script to hang waiting for<br>
MINER1 to exit before executing MINER2, and so forth.<br>
<br>
Let's say that the master script is called START-MINERS.<br>
- --------<br>
<br>
<br>
BEGIN START-MINERS<br>
- --------<br>
#!/bin/bash<br>
<br>
# The ampersand after the command causes a fork and puts<br>
# the job in the background.<br>
# Commonly, geometry can be set by --geometry= option.<br>
# See your terminal man page for details.<br>
<br>
$TERMINAL $SCRIPT1 &<br>
$TERMINAL $SCRIPT2 &<br>
$TERMINAL $SCRIPT3 &<br>
$TERMINAL $SCRIPT4 &<br>
- --------<br>
END START-MINERS<br>
<br>
