How to write shell script to start some programs?

I'm making a shell script that will start bunch on programs that l mostly use. I wants commands for them the programs are- 1. skype 2. sublime-text 3. google-chrome 4. Beyond-comopare 5. scudCloud 6. Lampp

i've found some of them-

#! /bin/sh sudo service mysql stop sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start sudo /usr/bin/skype start sudo /usr/bin/subl start sudo google-chrome 

I know the application can be set from startup application also but i need to run some command also.

After running command bash shell script will run.

Your script with further two entries:

$ cat launchscript.sh #! /bin/sh sudo service mysql stop sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start sudo /usr/bin/skype start sudo /usr/bin/subl start sudo google-chrome sudo scudcloud sudo bcompare 

Make it executable:

sudo chmod +x launchscript.sh 

Run it:

./launchscript.sh 

Put the script to run all the services inside init.d directory to make them run at startup.
