lsetup

Each day there are a number of repetitive tasks to do when I start my machine up, like starting the VPN, mounting drives, starting the same set of programs every day. I got bored pressing the same buttons over and over again, so wrote a shell script to start up the apps and apply settings as requried for work and or home. The lsetup.sh utility written by me takes a json config file which allows you to define the instructions to run as part of a group, so for example running ./lsetup.sh work apps will start up all your work apps as required, in the current workspace. I typically switch to another workspace and run ./lsetup.sh home apps to start my home applications. Below are colourised versions of the files (main links) and the actual files themselves (see the download links).

Local Setup (Bourne Posix/Linux/Unix) version - lsetup script, supporting scripts and example configuration files
• lsetup.sh - The main script ()
• lsetup.cfg - The instruction configuration file ()
• lsetup.CerberusM19.cfg - A machine specific instruction configuration file ()
• mlan.lsetup.sh - Script to mount network drives ()
• mounts.lsetup.conf - Drive mount points file ()

Additional Linux Configuration
• mateterm.lsetup.conf - Mate Terminal configuration file ()
• mateterm.workl.lsetup.conf - An alternate Mate Terminal configuration file ()
• terminator.config - Terminator configuration file ( to ~/.config/terminator/config)

Windows PowerShell version
• lsetup.ps1 - The main PowerShell script ()
• lsetup.Windows_NT.cfg - A Windows 10/11 specific example instruction configuration file ()

The important part is the configuration of the lsetup.cfg file, take a look, I have given the actual file I use which does things like starting all my work and/or home apps with a single call, saves doing all that clicking each morning.

Additional External Info
• Linux (and Windows) Terminal configuration
