A few questions [Slax Linux]

neehosoft · 01-10-2010, 08:20 PM

Hi
Im new to SLAX, and i have a couple questions:

1. In windows, you can create batch files. I know Shell files are the equivalent of that in linux, but how do i create one?
I tried creating a text document, typing echo Test, and saving it as .shell but it came up with a empty terminal.

2. How do i add the Right Click> Open With WINE, like there was in Ubuntu. I currently have to go through terminal and type Wine ProgramName, which i am fine with, but I want shortcuts (reason for asking about batches)

3. Finally, how do i add programs to the KDE Menu? I made a custom menu, but when i try and send a program to it, it works unless its a windows executable, which what i'm using is, how can i still add it?
The Program is Brutus AE2, and i want to add it the KDE with the command "Wine" so when you click it it launches a terminal, enters Wine BrutusA2.exe and runs?

4. Also, my search wont work. dunno

Please help and sorry for the stupid questions.

1) You have to first create the script then make it executable.

Code:

$ cat tst.sh 
#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello World!"
$ chmod u+x tst.sh 
$ ./tst.sh 
Hello World!
$

I can't answer the others as I don't use that setup!

Thank you very much. That helped me a lot.
