Doing several things from one icon...


I am using Red Hat 8.0 and I would like to place a single icon on the desktop that does the following:

Starts gnome-terminal
Runs a Wyse 60 emulation package (this just has to run /usr/local/bin/wy60)
Telnet to a SCO box

I have been playing with a script file but have been unsuccessful so far. Does anyone know I can do this?

Regards,
Brad

you should be able to just have the target be "wy60 & telnet somehere" but it depends how your which manager (which you didn't bother telling us abuot) interprets desktop icons.
