Can I have a Script that can run multiple Terminal scripts in varied folders?

Sure. There are multiple ways to do this.

A simple cheap approach is to name the shell script something.command for all the shell scripts that kick off each specific server script. That is to say, if the script file ends with .command, when you double click on it or use the shell 'open' command, it will open a new Terminal window.

Each .command file would invoke your server script

Then you have a master script with something like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

open first.command &

open second.command &

open third.command &

open forth.command &

etc...

Of course each of the shell scripts should have the execution bit set

chmod +x master.sh

chmod +x *.command

You can most likely do this from Applescript or Automator using a different approach that tells the Terminal to run your server script

#!/usr/bin/env bash

open /path/to/this/file/first.command &
open /path/to/this/next/file/second.command &
open /path/to/this/script/third.command &
open /path/to/this/one/too/forth.command &

etc...

the .command files would need to be shell scripts.

The master.sh file with the 'open' commands that I show is a shell script, however, it should be possible to use Applescript or Automator to invoke the .command files. Or have the master.sh shell script I should be invoked via Applescript or Automator.

I am NOT an Applescript nor Automator expert, so I did not try to give instructions for those.

NOTE: It maybe possible to do everything you want via Applescript or Automator, but that is not my skill set.

It's a terminal ( unix ) script. How to tell..

#!/usr/bin/env bash

This tells the bash intrepreter that it is a bash script.

You may invoke any command line script from Applescript.

#! /usr/bin/bash

open /path/to/file &

#...etc, as Bob laid out

You can compile the script using textedit. Save the file as "fileopen" , for example, as a plain text document in Textedit. Save it to a particular location. If you save it to your documents folder, and the name is "fileopen.txt" you would run the commands below to compile the script into a unix executible file:

cd ~/Documents

mv fileopen.txt fileopen

chmod +x ./fileopen

Anytime you open terminal and type in ~/documents/fileopen, the script would execute. To make it easier, you may want to save the script in /usr/bin/ . This would allow you to simply type "fileopen" and terminal will execute the command, since /usr/bin/ is a shell path by default.
