interactive launch
Does ROS have a way to interactively start-stop nodes? For example - taking a bunch of rosnodes and having a start-stop button next to each and showing their output?

Hi Dimitar,
I just started on something called rxlaunch, which does exactly that. It's still in active development, but may already be useful to you.
You can get rxlaunch from its kforge page. Just checkout the mercurial repository and run rxlaunch.py
. You may also need to install PySide.
Some things that don't work yet (2011-07-14):
roslaunch
the launch file first, then use rxlaunchWhen things go wrong, just file a ticket.
I'm making now rqt_launch
, a roslaunch
GUI based on rqt
framework that's introduced since Groovy. http://www.ros.org/wiki/rqt_launch. As of today only source install is possible (from http://goo.gl/pC7Mv) but will soon be available in debian pkg.
No, it does not.
