Scritp direct exeution, no dialog box- how to

achtung_linux · 02-15-2007, 12:02 PM

Hi,
I have a simple Tcl/Tk script and would like to make its execution direct, on double-click. I have tried the chmod +x name_of_the_script but when double-clicking the script a dialog box comes out first asking me how would I like to run the script: run the terminal, display or run...
I would like my script to run on double-click without this dialog box and go straight to execution. Is that possible?

What's your desktop environment/file manager?

GNOME on CentOS 4.2

Ok, got it. It doesn't have to do anything with tclsh vs. wish or making executable, linking, wrapping in C executable, changing MIME types etc.
I selected the file in the file browser and then selected "Edit" -> Preferences -> Behavior -> to the section "executable text files" where the radio button "Run when they are clicked" needs to be checked and that's about it...
Thanks to all that tried to help
