How to change directories in console using an desktop icon?
 

What I am looking to do is click on a desktop icon, and have a terminal open up, change directories to /etc/rc.d then sudo and be able to startup the internet daemon.

Sometimes I have to do that manually through console to start up the internet daemon and I thought there should be a way to automate the process.

I tried several experiments but could not get the console to activate or get sudo to work.

I am running Slackware 1337 and XFCE.

Are you using gnome? Also I am not sure what you mean by the internet daemon.

You can write a small script in your home directory like so:

cd /etc/rc.d
sudo <command to open internet daemon>

save the file as go.sh (or whatever you want to call it)

Then create a new launcher on the desktop, select <run application in terminal> when creating the launcher and point it towards your script.


Done.

I am using XFCE. What you described is similar to what I tried. I will try your suggestion. Thanks.
