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:

    #! / 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

    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
