shortcut to shell script

[gamesticker]

This ****ing problem is keeping me busy since last 7hrs. I have looked thru all the manuals and searched thru web, but no luck. All I want to do is to create a desktop shortcut to my shell script "/mnt/work/scripts/net/connect" so that I can run it in konsole by double clicking on it. But seems that linux creators have tried everything under their sleeves to make sure that no user is able to do so by any chance

any suggestions???

Make sure your shell script is executable by typing:

chmod a+x /path/to/your/script

Then right click on your desk top, choose "Create New" and select "Link to application" Fill in the details to your script. Alternatively cd to your desktopand create a softlink by typing::

cd ~/Desktop
ln -s /path/to/your/script

Did you preform the chmod command on your script to make it exectable and was it successful?

If you're running KDE, you can just 'right click', new/shortcut_to_application/TAB-application/advanced

Check the box 'run in terminal', give it a name and fill in the /path/command, find a nice icon, click OK and you're done.
