how to switch to chromium window via script

2014-03-26 Thread jidanni 
I did
$ chromium &
$ chromium
and it does what I want: opens another tab in the running chromium.
Alas it doesn't raise the chromium window, and I have to manually switch
to in via ALT TAB or clicking, here in icewm.

What shell command can I put in a wrapper to cause the switch?

Not tried it myself, but "wmctrl -a Chromium" should work (where
"Chromium" is a string that is searched for in the titles of windows.
See the man page for more details.
