workspace

I am trying to write a group of bashscripts to launch a set of applications on different workspaces. Reason being so that I can for example set up a script that launches all my dev related applications on the workspaces I usually put them on.

I am looking for a command like

ws -2 foo

Which would launch the foo application on workspace 2

I tried looking through google but to no avail. Any suggestions?

When I connect via ssh terminal to certain servers, it timeouts and "freezes" the terminal (doesn't accept, doesn't disconnect, can't Ctrl-C to kill the ssh process or anything).
