Desktop Shortcut in Ubuntu With Additional Parameters After the Target

own3mall · 08-04-2009, 03:49 AM

How do I create a shortcut to MOHAA_SERVER.EXE with Ubuntu 9.04 with the added commands of:

+set dedicated 1 +set ui_console 1 +set g_gametype3 +set sv_maxclients 14 +exec server.cfg after the path of the MOHAA_SERVER.exe

I want it to match the setup of the desktop shortcut in windows:

I'm using wine for my mohaa (Medal of Honor Allied Assault) server, and it seems to be working, but I don't want to manually have to type in exec server.cfg every time either.

Let me know.

Put it in a scipt, make script executable, create link to script.

How do I do that?

My path to the file is

/home/eric/desktop/mohaa/MOHAA_SERVER.exe

How would I set this up to run with the extra parameters? I have no idea what I'm doing on Ubuntu, so please help!

Put that into a text file, save it and make it executable:
chmod u+x filename

Then you can launch it with:
./filename
or, if you put the file into /usr/bin or /home/username/bin with:
filename
You can also create a link to it.
