make a shortcut to a perl application with perameters?
 

there is a program that i need to run located at /home/shawnd/halfstats/halfStats.pl and i have to run it with default.cfg after it.. so when i'm in the directory i run this:
./halfStats.pl default.cfg

i made a shortcut to run that looked like this:
/home/shawnd/halfstats/halfStats.pl default.cfg and that didn't work
perl /home/shawnd/halfstats/halfStats.pl default.cfg and that didn't work either.

any ideas?

of course it won't work make it like this
/home/shawnd/halfstats/halfStats.pl /home/shawnd/halfstats/default.cfg
make sure the perl script has an executable bit set
chmod 755 /home/shawnd/halfstats/halfStats.pl

nope that don't work either.

create an alias instead of a shortcut (you mean as on a kde shortcut? ughh... anyway...

alias hs='whatever.pl config.blah'

did you ticked the option "run in terminal"

hmmmm no
thanks, i can't check right now (time) but if i don't post you can assume that it worked.
