You really ought to change the programs to synchronise the way they work.

You can try the following

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

./appl1
sleep 60
killall -s STOP appli1
 ./appli2
sleep 60
killall -s STOP appli2
for ((;;))
do
   killall -s CONT ./appl1
   sleep 60
   killall -s STOP appli1
   killall -s CONT ./appli2
   sleep 60
   killall -s STOP ./appli2
done
