I have no idea why I was not a member here until now, I browse this site often. I have posted this question on other sites today, with no replies yet.
I have searched and searched, and probably don't really know what to ask, so this may be a doozy..........or I may just be standing in the middle of the forest.
How can I "focus/start/activate/bring up/open/show the window of" a systray application from the command line or better yet, from a shell script?
There must be many ways to do what I'm looking for, but I don't know any
I'm composing "text messages" with an editor, then just copying the text to "Mutt" and sending it off. I have made a very simple bash script to open "gedit" and "Mutt" simultaneously. If I add "Osmo" to the shell script, I get an error message saying an instance of "Osmo" is already running. I would like to open all three applications simultaneously. My "Osmo" is already started "minimized" to the "systray" on boot-up. Osmo is used to keep recipient's cellphone carrier addresses.
How can I focus/activate (open the window) "Osmo" which is minimized in the systray? What command must I include in my shell script to do that? It should be just like using the mouse to click on the "Osmo" systray icon (or using a keyboard shortcut), which brings up an open window of "Osmo".
Using Lubuntu 14.04, 32 bit, so involves LXPanel, and the System Tray I'm using is the default plugin offered under Panel Preferences/Panel Applets.
Thanks for any help,
Sean
