Here is a "gazeboplayer" script that takes a configuration filename and 
a world filename, starts both up, waits for gazebo to finish, then kills 
player. I'm not a shell programmer, so if there are better ways, please 
let me know.

# A shell script to get gazebo and player running together

config=$1
world=$2

# Start gazebo
gazebo $world &
gpid=$!
# Wait a sec for it to get started
sleep 1
# Now, start the player layer
player -g default $config &
ppid=$!
# Wait for gazebo to finish
wait $gpid
# Kill player
kill $ppid
