I'd use a script similar to the following:
#!/bin/bash
time_start() {
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
PROGRAM_NAME=$1
WINDOW_TITLE=$2
echo "$1" "$2"
"$PROGRAM_NAME" & # Start foobar
while ! wmctrl -R "$WINDOW_TITLE" # Attempt to raise window
do
sleep 0.05
done
wmctrl -c "$WINDOW_TITLE" # Close window
}
time time_start firefox Firefox
time time_start oowriter "OpenOffice.org Writer"
...
