How to launch screens

Management launched applications on monitor PCs in the control room.

    # Usage:
    #     k1ctr*> ssh k1mon*
    #     k1mon*> /users/k1mon/display/monitor.sh [/path/to/config.conf]

    # file:
    #    Launched file.
    #       ADL -> *.adl
    #       STP -> *.stp

    #            2nd -> unique name
    #                       which is required only when a same adl screen is launched
    #                       in multi-times with another macro parameters
    #       WEB: 1st -> unique name

Note

The same application window will not be launched more than once by this script.
- Application windows which are already launched are skipped.
Whether an application window is already launched or not is determined by the window title.
- This script changes the window title for all application windows as a unique name.
- If there are some application windows which is launched by another ways, managing window-title may break down.
- So, don't launch application window in manually on monitor PCs if you want to use this script.
