| 01:38.19 | Okina | Perhaps someone has done something similar to this, a script to start multiple clients: https://pastebin.com/zcG8fNDY |
| 01:39.17 | Okina | I'm unsure of how to "activate" the next client, while the previous instance is "active". |
| 01:39.20 | Okina | Any tips? |
| 01:40.41 | Okina | This would optimize a lot of my work when requiring multiple "players" to be "present" for testing purposes. |

| 02:21.23 | blast007 | depending on what exactly you need, there are also solo bots which you can add with the -solo option to the client (as in, 'bzflag -solo 10' to add 10 solo bots when you join the server) |
| 02:22.22 | blast007 | what are you meaning by 'activate' though? talking about autopilot and/or spawning? |

| 02:24.54 | Okina | Simply to cycle to start the next client. |
| 02:25.10 | Okina | (Solo bots have been used previously, but not to satisfactory conditions.) |
| 02:26.41 | Okina | (So start client, start client, start client..etc) |
| 02:27.09 | Okina | vs now, which is "start client", pause, if client closes, "start client". |
| 02:27.51 | Okina | (Spawning and autopilot were handled in one patch by Teppic some time ago.) |
| 02:28.33 | Okina | Mainly I'm doing some plug-in tests and it is excessively tedious to start multiple clients and solo bots may or may not provide "actual" behavior. |
| 02:28.49 | Okina | Especially with flag/shot handling. |

| 03:16.07 | blast007 | I imagine that exec() is going to wait for the external program to stop, so it'll never start the second client until you quit out of the first. |
| 03:16.46 | blast007 | a shell script is probably a better option |
| 03:17.10 | blast007 | there you could background the process by adding & to the end of the line |
| 03:17.28 | blast007 | I *think* that would make it continue on with the script |
