Run .sh file without being prompted

vwtech · 01-01-2009, 04:14 PM

I have created a .sh file to log out of my current session however when double clicking on the item a prompt continues to come up.
I have chosen the option for it to open in the gnome-terminal but it still comes up.

When I ran the file the terminal is works as it should be I want to just double click on the file and have it run with being prompted. I don't see any prompts. Anyone have any idea's, running Fedora 9 w Gnome.

Thanks for reading.

I don't know if I understand everything here (I don't use gnome and maybe there's something I am not considering). However, can you post the contents of the script? It might help.

Maybe it will work if you modify it to launch the terminal from the script itself. For example:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
xterm -e <whatever command you want to run>

I can't be more specific without knowing your current script code.

#!/bin/bash
#This program will log the user at

who
echo"You are logging out fool"
who
skill -kill -u

Run the file preferences dialog: on my Debian box it is under "System" --> "Preferences" --> "File Management". Select the "Behavior" tab and then select "Run executable text files when they are opened". You may also need to change the application associated with these files to the terminal instead of gedit, which they are normally associated with.

Thanks very much, setting the behavior was the ticket.

-Windows 7 anyone...LOL.

Glad it worked for you. On the Windows 7 comment, never...seriously!
