A simple wrapping script to boot multiple programs only when the current time matches your workweek's time frame. I use it to have my work related applications only start in my working schedule.
It's up to you how you want to install it. To call the program, run the file bootonwork.sh from any directory.
To define what programs you want to boot, create a file called boot.sh. For example:
#!/bin/bash
/home/timon/software/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop.sh %f &
/usr/bin/scudcloud --minimized=True &
notify-send "Booted work-related applications"
In my use case I need to startup some applications like Toggl or Slack. There's an example of a desktop entry(bootonwork.desktop.sample), it's what I use to add a startup application to Gnome.
If the timeframe / working schedule does not fit your needs, you can tweak the script by adding a file called settings.cfg in the directory of the repository, for example:
[start]
day=0 # First day of your workweek, 1 is Monday - 7 is Sunday
hour=8 # The hour your workday starts
minute=30 # The minute of the hour your workday starts
[end]
day=5 # Last day of your workweek, 1 is Monday - 7 is Sunday
hour=17 # The hour your workday ends
minute=0 # The minute of the hour your workday ends
Having a vacation? Just run touch vacation.flag in this directory when your vacation starts and run rm vacation.flag in this directory when your vacation is over. The program will detect the flag and won't boot, whatever your schedule is!
