More batch script help

[Ant2ne]

script titled "UO"

#!/bin/sh
echo NOW: LOADING UO
cd /home/ant2ne/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files"/"EA Games"/"Ultima Online 9th Anniversary Collection"/
sudo wine client.exe
echo NOW: LOADING EasyUO
sudo wine /home/ant2ne/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files"/"EA Games"/euox/UOeasy/euox.exe

with this script I can load the first program, but the second wont load until the first is shut down. How do I let the script continue without "finishing" a command?

Re: More batch script help

little snag

when i run my batch titled uo

ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ uo
NOW: Loading UO
NOW: Loadin EasyUO
ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ Password:
sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error

I don't know why, but the & is making it skip the pause for me to enter my password. Suggestions?

Re: More batch script help

good idea.

Do i need to name the script with the .sh? does that do anything?

No, but I would suggest changing the shebang from "/bin/sh" to "/bin/bash". Just good programming practice.

Re: More batch script help

Shebang: Used to describe the header line of shell scripts from the habit of programmers calling the Octothorp character '#', "hash" and the exclamation point '!', "bang". Hence the first two characters of any script "#!" = "hash-bang" -->"shebang".
