Launch apps/scripts from the extension.

You can trigger things from a button (I was launching my jenkins local instance for example). Basic flow is Button -> json definition -> shell script

The json files indicates the details, triggering the startJenkins.sh which itself was booting up things via a bash alias in my case. The js script has an event listener that triggers chrome.management.launchApp(ext.id). This is how the button gets connected to the chrome communication api to then fire off the shell script which path is specified in the json file. Might require some experimentation to get it right.
