Automate frequent tasks using shell script in Linux/Ubuntu

As we are developer, We need to start many things frequently. But to start any app/server, we need to navigate to that folder and needs to execute it. This is very time consuming and ridiculous process.

Solution:

Create one shell script file and manage all tasks through proxy gateway number using  if else.

For ex. I am registering proxy gateways for eclipse, android studio, spring boot servers etc. as shown below:

create start.sh file in home:

$sudo gedit ${HOME}/start.sh

Copy below script in ge editor opened:

echo "Please choose any one from below choices..."

echo "1. Eclipse "
echo "2. Android Studio"
echo "3. Products Service - http://localhost:9000/"
echo "4. Crawler Service - http://localhost:9001/"
echo "5. Eureka Service - http://localhost:9002/"
echo "6. Zuul Service Service - http://localhost:9003/"
echo "********************************************"

echo "Enter your choice number"


while :
do
  read INPUT_STRING
  case $INPUT_STRING in
1)
echo "Starting Eclipse!!!"
nohup /home/sachin/eclipse/jee-oxygen/eclipse/eclipse;
break
;;
2)
echo "Starting Android Studio!!!"
nohup sh /home/sachin/softwares/android-studio/bin/studio.sh;
break
;;

3)
echo "Starting Products Service - http://localhost:9000/!!!"
cd /home/sachin/Microservices/Test/products-db/;
gradle assemble
cd build/libs/
java -jar ./products-db-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
break
;;

4)
echo "Starting Crawler Service - http://localhost:9001/!!!"
cd /home/sachin/Microservices/Test/products-crawler;
gradle assemble
cd build/libs/
java -jar ./products-crawler-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
break
;;
5)
echo "Starting Eureka Service - http://localhost:9002/!!!"
cd /home/sachin/Microservices/Test/eureka-server-module;
gradle assemble
cd build/libs/
java -jar ./eureka-server-module-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
break
;;
6)
echo "Zuul Service Service - http://localhost:9003!!!"
cd /home/sachin/Microservices/Test/zuul-module-service;
gradle assemble
cd build/libs/
java -jar ./zuul-module-service-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
break
;;
*)
echo "Sorry, I don't understand"
;;
  esac
done

Start Task using start.sh

sachin@sachin-E470:~$ sh start.sh 
Please choose any one from below choices...
1. Eclipse 
2. Android Studio
3. Products Service - http://localhost:9000/
4. Crawler Service - http://localhost:9001/
5. Eureka Service - http://localhost:9002/
6. Zuul Service Service - http://localhost:9003/

ScreenShot:

This way, we can add tasks and execute it with common gateeway using shell script
