在调试ROS程序时，经常需要运行多个节点程序，如果每个都打开一个终端然后输入指令非常繁琐，可以写一个脚本文件，每次运行这个脚本就能一次运行多个节点，方便高效。方法来自于链接。其实就是利用ubuntu中的terminator小程序，安装方法如下：

sudo apt-get install terminator

安装好以后在~/.config/terminator路径下的config是它的配置文件（例如设置窗口数量、字体、窗口大小等）。如果安装terminator后没有这个文件夹那你自己新建一个就可以了。下面以启动四个窗口为例说明怎么写脚本。
　　打开config文件，在terminal3下面，给command选项起个名字，例如command = COMMAND1，如下。其它的terminal同理，后面的脚本会把这个名字改成运行的指令。

  enabled_plugins = CustomCommandsMenu, ActivityWatch, LaunchpadCodeURLHandler, APTURLHandler, LaunchpadBugURLHandler

      fullscreen = False

      order = 0
      parent = ""

      type = Window
    [[[child1]]]
      order = 0
      parent = child0
      position = 908

      type = HPaned
    [[[child2]]]
      order = 0
      parent = child1
      position = 427

      type = VPaned

      type = VPaned
    [[[terminal3]]]
      command = COMMAND1
      order = 0
      parent = child2
      profile = default
      type = Terminal
      uuid = 6465ad81-9563-4994-a9ea-4c73e642264a
    [[[terminal4]]]
      command = COMMAND2
      order = 1
      parent = child2
      profile = default
      type = Terminal

    background_image = None
    scrollback_lines = 5000

然后制作自己的脚本，以我的为例。新建script.sh文件，记事本打开然后输入以下命令。看到command1后面的指令了吧，那就是你要运行的指令，修改为你自己的指令即可，然后保存。其中的sleep指令是防止节点同时启动，因为如果同时启动会出错，所以延时一段时间以错开运行。执行脚本时，打开一个终端并输入./script.sh即可看到terminator同时启动多个窗口的过程，如下图。如果想同时关闭这多个窗口，在运行脚本的终端中按ctrl+C即可。
　　如果有一天你的脚本启动不了terminator了，那就检查一下~/.config/terminator路径下的配置文件config，把它改回上面的代码即可。

#!/bin/bash

## change these to whatever you actually need
command1="cd ~/TEB;source devel/setup.bash;roslaunch teb_local_planner_tutorials robot_carlike_in_stage.launch; bash"
command2="sleep 2s;roslaunch yocs_velocity_smoother standalone.launch; bash"
command3="sleep 3s;source ~/control/devel/setup.bash; roslaunch control control.launch; bash"
command4="sleep 4s;source ~/ReedsShepp/devel/setup.bash; roslaunch steering_functions steering_functions.launch; bash"

## Modify terminator's config
sed -i.bak "s#COMMAND1#$command1#; s#COMMAND2#$command2#; s#COMMAND3#$command3#; s#COMMAND4#$command4#;" ~/.config/terminator/config

## Launch a terminator instance using the new layout
terminator -l default

## Return the original config file
mv ~/.config/terminator/config.bak ~/.config/terminator/config
