How to write shell script to start some programs?

I'm making a shell script that will start bunch on programs that l mostly use. I wants commands for them the programs are- 1. skype 2. sublime-text 3. google-chrome 4. Beyond-comopare 5. scudCloud 6. Lampp

i've found some of them-

#! /bin/sh
sudo service mysql stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
sudo /usr/bin/skype start
sudo /usr/bin/subl start
sudo google-chrome

I know the application can be set from startup application also but i need to run some command also.

After running command bash shell script will run.

Your script with further two entries:

$ cat launchscript.sh
#! /bin/sh
sudo service mysql stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
sudo /usr/bin/skype start
sudo /usr/bin/subl start
sudo google-chrome
sudo scudcloud 
sudo bcompare

Make it executable:

sudo chmod +x launchscript.sh

Run it:

./launchscript.sh
