Mainscript executes subscripts in a new terminal window
"Debian 9 64x - LXDE"
I try to create an install script in bash. Lets assume i want to install samba.
I call from the mainscript the install script for samba \folder\samba.sh.
The script samba.sh should get executed in a new terminal window, so i can watch for install errors.
The script should work like follow description:
The script /mainscript.sh provides only user information, interaction, and executes multiple subscripts (/folder/subscripts.sh).
The script /mainscript.sh needs to create a new terminal window, passes the path, and the name of subscript.sh and executes them in the new terminal window.
The script /mainscript.sh must only execute one subscript (/folder/subscript.sh) at the time! If a subscript.sh is running then the mainscript must wait until the new terminal window gets closed.
The subscript.sh executes some code with root privileges.
Questions:
How can I create a new terminal window, pass the subscript, and execute it in the new terminal window?
How can I make sure that the script (mainscript.sh) only runs one subscript (subscript.sh) at the time?
This example should only clarify what i wanna do, it doesnt work !:
