Question

Every day I do the following commands:

[0] Start terminal

1. Open window -> memcached
2. Open window -> redis-server
3. Open window -> memcached
4. Open window -> devo
5. Open window -> cd /some/path
6. /some/path$ -> rails s --port=3002
7. Open window -> cd /other/path
8. /other/path$ -> rails s --port=3000

Can these steps be accomplished in a single script? I’m losing my mind doing these steps every time I restart my system

Answer 1

Create an applescript. You will just need to run the applescript and it’ll do all that for you :

tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "memcached" in window 1
    do script "redis-server" -- Each do script opens a new window
    do script "memcached"
    do script "devo"
    do script "cd "
    do script "rails s --port=3002" in window 1 -- does script in last opened window
    do script "cd "
    do script "rails s --port=3000" in window 1 -- does script in last opened window
end tell

Save it as an Application so you can double click it to run it. You could also assign it to start on system start or even to a shortcut with a necessary third party program.
