在调试ROS程序时,经常需要运行多个节点程序,如果每个都打开一个终端然后输入指令非常繁琐,可以写一个脚本文件,每次运行这个脚本就能一次运行多个节点,方便高效。其实就是利用ubuntu的terminator
:1
sudo apt-get -y install terminator
安装好以后在~/.config/terminator
路径下的config
是它的配置文件(例如设置窗口数量、字体、窗口大小等)。如果安装terminator后没有这个文件夹,那新建一个就可以了。下面以启动四个窗口为例说明怎么写脚本。
打开config文件,在terminal3下面,给command选项起个名字,例如command = COMMAND1
。其它的terminal同理,后面的脚本会把这个名字改成运行的指令。1

## change these to whatever you actually need

command3="sleep 3s;source ~/control/devel/setup.bash; roslaunch control control.launch; bash"
command4="sleep 4s;source ~/ReedsShepp/devel/setup.bash; roslaunch steering_functions steering_functions.launch; bash"
## Modify terminator's config
sed -i.bak "s#COMMAND1#$command1#; s#COMMAND2#$command2#; s#COMMAND3#$command3#; s#COMMAND4#$command4#;" ~/.config/terminator/config
## Launch a terminator instance using the new layout
terminator -l default
## Return the original config file
mv ~/.config/terminator/config.bak ~/.config/terminator/config
其中的sleep命令是防止节点同时启动,因为如果同时启动会出错,所以延时一段时间以错开运行。执行脚本时,打开一个终端并输入./script.sh
,即可看到terminator同时启动多个窗口的过程。
如果脚本启动不了terminator了,那就检查一下~/.config/terminator
路径下的配置文件config,把它改回上面的代码即可。
