Running .sh script by double clicking?

pilot1 · 03-28-2003, 02:24 PM

If I put a script (we'll just call it script.sh for now) on my desktop, how can I make it so that it runs in a terminal when I double click it?
Currently what happens is it's viewed with a text editor, and i'd like it to run when I double click it, instead of being viewed with an editor.
I'm thinking i'd need to make it a symbolic link and put the file in a *bin directory.
Can anyone help me do this?

You can't do that really...

What you need to do instead is create a launcher that runs ([(gnome-)xawe]term|rxvt|konsole) -e script.sh

Thanks, that works.
