Start a workspace (preset programs)

start-workspace.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# I am mostly working in either of 2 modes:
# 1- work [ pass 'work' as first argument ]
# 2- not-work [ default]
#
# And over the years I have found it to be a pain to have to
# manually start the same 5-6 prorgams everytime my laptop
# got rebooted so I created a script with those presets
# and then set openbox to start the relevant workspace
# give then day and time
