Two Skype simultaneously in Mac OS
Perhaps someone needs to run several Skype accounts running simultaneously under Mac OS.
Create a new user. For example, call it test. Be sure to assign him a password.
We open the terminal. We type:
pupkin $ mkdir / Users / test / Application \ Support / Skype
Instead of 'test' we substitute the name of the created user. We go in:
pupkin $ su test
We launch Skype:
pupkin $ ./Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype
I wrote a small script for bash:
Remember to change the username of the username variable (do not put a space after the '=' sign). Let's call the skype.sh script. Making it executable:
pupkin $ chmod + x skype.sh
Run:
pupkin $ ./skype.sh

I wrote a small script for bash:
#! / bin / bash
# Username
username = test
# Check for the directory needed to start Skype. If it is not, create
if [! -d / Users / $ {username} / Application \ Support / Skype]
then
mkdir / Users / $ {username} / Application \ Support / Skype
fi
# Start Skype
su $ {username} -c /Applications/Skype.app/Contents / Macos / skype
