shell workspace [closed]

asked Sep 19 '14

Hi, I have made a script (used for debugging a multi-user web portal) to run multiple instances of Firefox (each with its own profile). Is it possible to specify the workspace when starting a program from the terminal/script, so I am able to e.g. start the first 10 instances in workspace 1, the next 10 instances in workspace 2 etc.?

bash-script: for i in {1..40; do sleep 0.1; firefox -p $i -new-instance "website.com/login" & done

Kind regards, Morten

I'm closing this question because it is an unintentional duplicate of [this qestion](https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4657/start-program-in-specific-workspace-using-terminalbash-script/). As there is no real additional content here deleting it soon should not be an issue.

Hmm, don't know why my question appeared in two separate threads. This has already been answered, see "start-program-in-specific-workspace-using-terminalbash-script". (not enough karma to post direct link)

If you don't mind I'll delete this post..
