[BASH] Launching programs from a Bash script.

[jasona99]

Hello,
I am trying to launch a file with Omxplayer while launching claws-mail (simultaneously from a Bash script). I have tried numerous commands, but Omxplayer says it can't find the file, while claws-mail launches without any of my settings and also gives an error about not being able to locate a file somewhere in ./root (I can't get the exact message at this time, but I can get it if needed).
Here are some of the lines I have tried in an attempt to make it work:

Code: Select all

omxplayer ./Music/File_Name.mp3 -p & claws-mail

Code: Select all

sudo omxplayer ./Music/File_Name.mp3 -p & claws-mail

Code: Select all

omxplayer home/pi/Music/File_Name.mp3 -p & claws-mail

Code: Select all

sudo omxplayer home/pi/Music/File_Name.mp3 -p & claws-mail

Note: I am a complete noob to Bash.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
