running script question

BajaNick · 09-24-2003, 10:40 PM

I wrote a very tiny script and when i double click on it i get the dialog box that asks if you want to open the file, run it in console and whatever else it asks.
I would like to know how i can just have it run when i click on it and not have the dialog box popup. Thanks

Hi

Try registering an application to open a particular file extension.

In the case of your script (guessing its a shell script), register it run with /bin/bash in the dialog box. I guess you can also register the script to run in console. AFAIK for most standard Linux installs, /bin is in the path.

Yes its a bash script, I dont know what you mean by registering it?

What happens if you run the script on a console or terminal?

./script

Does it run? When your double clicking, most likely there's a chance your script is running but most scripts like a simple bash script runs in a terminal or at the command line. Unless you associate your script in whatever GUI your using, you can't or won't see nothing when double clicking it there....

Preferences >> File Types and Programs (RH9).

Registering = letting the OS know which application to use to open a particular file type.

When i double click on its icon it brings up a dialog box that asks if you want to run it, display it, run it in console. It runs when i choose how i want it to run i just want it to run in the console without asking me how to run it.
