I have this run.sh file, and I've create a symbolic link into my desktop.
When I double-click on it the file the following dialog appearsr
And I have to click on "run" each time. How can I create a link that runs by default?
-
Instead of linking directly to the .sh file create an application launcher as follows:
- Right click on your desktop
- Choose "Create Launcher..."
- Change "Application" to "Application in Terminal" in the drop down box.
- Give it a name like "Idea"
- Enter the command like this
/path/to/script/idea.sh - Add a comment if you like, it will show up when you mouse hover over it if you move the launcher to a menu bar.
Then when you click the launcher a terminal window will open and the command will run in there.
If you don't want to open a terminal to see any output, just use "Application" instead of "Application in Terminal".
OscarRyz : I wish I could add a non-svg image to the icon created. The rest worked perfectly Thanks.OscarRyz : Mhh.. strange, once created, I could associate the png icon Now it looks like this: http://yfrog.com/5gscreenshot20100817at719p Nice!From Richard Holloway -
Why not just configure Nautilus to execute by default?
Under Nautilus goto Edit->Preferences->Behavior and click:
"Run executable text files when they are opened"
ithkuil : probably not something which most people want to suggest as default, but nevertheless very informative, it can be useful to know that it's possible.From Evan Plaice
