I have installed Azureus for Linux, and everytime i want it to start-up, i type in the command line ./azureus, which is pretty annoying .. Is there any other way then typing in the konsole everytime i want to start up the Azureus ?
Like Put The Azureus in /home/ktane/Desktop and just double-click it to start it up, just like MicroSuck Windows !
Azureus file is in my /usr/local/src/azureus, and onces i went into that directory, I just type in ./azureus !
Are you asking how to put a shortcut on your desktop ?
If using kde;
-right click desktop
-create new file->link to application
-application
-fill in Azureus as description
-In command box fill in path to application ie; /usr/local/src/azureus/azureus , the second azureus being your shell script
-That cute frog png can be used as an icon
Gnome works much the same. I'll let you figure out the double-click thing.
EDIT: In the general tab change 'link to application' to read 'Azureus'. Looks tidier this way

You know what's strange? I ended up always running Azureus from the console, because I couldn't get it to run in any other context. No error messages or anything - it just didn't start (even when I ticked KDE's "run in console" option on the shortcut). It was probably something to do with my Java runtime config, though after a quick google I gave up since I usually do things from the console anyway.
I'd be interested to know if you had the same issue, since it's one of those niggly annoying things that I don't know what the problem with it was. If so, I'll help you through it as best I can.

I had the same issue. It's annoying..
I use ubuntu 5.10 (upgraded from hoary).
It's very strange that it's not working even I try to run it from gnome-console with -e azureus option. (It will run when I type azureus in gnome-console)
So what's the problem?

The reason it does not work for you. You do not know bash scripting. It does work though. I tried it in many distributions such as Mandrake 9, Mandrake 10, Slackware, and Gentoo. All work the same way. Depending how the distribution is setup, you may need to set the permissions to 755 for /usr/bin/azureus. If /usr/bin comes after /usr/local/bin in the PATH environment variable then you have to change the order. The path that AZUREUS_PATH points to was for the thread starter, so you may have to change it to work for your setup.
Sorry if it appeared that I was second guessing your advice. If so it wasn't intentional. It just seemed that part of the question was not addressed.

The method I outlined for the shortcut works for me with blender. /usr/local/src/blender/blender. It seems it's not a working solution for others. Also tried launching it with your short script. It works fine.
I have the same problem too when starting Azureus. It's strange because the shotcut in desktop works with every other program. I would be happy to solve this thing up.
