kamesh156 · 10-11-2005, 01:10 AM

i wrote a shell script to invoke my application and i gave the executable permission to that .sh file.my need is while double click that .sh file, my app should run. yes its working, but the problem is everytime while double click the .sh file, a msg box is appearing with the following options Run, Run in terminal, Display and Cancel. how to avoid the msg box or any other ways to invoke my application?

You can invoke it from a terminal.

Open up a terminal window, Change to the directory and enter:

Code:

./nameOfYourScript

I hope this helps

just right click the icon and check "Run in terminal" under Properties. I'm assuming you have an icon or not? This will run your script by double clicking on it.

if you are using Nautilus:

open any window, go to Edit->Preferences->Behavior and check the "Run executable text files when they are opened"

this will chenge the behavior of every executable text file but its the best i was able to do :S
