Link on desktop to run sh

MasterC · 05-15-2002, 06:20 AM

I have to run a program from a console. But in order to do, I have to keep a console open. When I am in X how do I make a link on my desktop to just click it and have the console open up and automatically run that command and stay open.

I am talkin about LimeWire. I have to be in LimeWire Directory and then open a Konsole and run sh runlime.sh to get the program to start. How can I make this just a click from my desktop?

Thanks

Make a simple script to do that. Run the following commands in a terminal.

Code:

cat > runlime <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
cd /limewiredirectory
sh runlime.sh
EOF
chmod +x runlime

That will create a script file called runlime. Just make a link on your desktop to the runlime file to get it to run.

Are my questions that easy, or have you experienced the same problems as me? Thanks again!
