desktop shortcut to .sh script

[ntredame]

I am trying to create a symbolic link on my desktop to a script that launches a program. I can launch the program fine from the application's directory by doing a ./client.sh. Permissions are set to 755. When I create the link, I switch to the desktop directory and type in the following command:

ln -s /opt/SecureComputing/SmartFilterAdministration/client/client.sh

It creates the link successfully. When I try to run it I am prompted to "Run in Terminal", "Display", "Cancel", or "Run". No matter which one I choose the script does not execute. I don't get any error messages. Just nothing happens.
Anyone have any clues on this one?

Make a script on your desktop. Make it so all it does is run the other script.

As to why the symbolic linking doesn't work... Is that script trying to run other scripts in the same directory or in folders?

Well, seeing as I don't know much about scripts or how to write them I couldn't tell you. I appreciate the pointer, looks like I have some research to do concerning scripting.

Thanks so much Dark_Stang. That worked like a beauty and I gained some knowledge on how to write scripts.

No problem, glad I could help. Did you ever figure out why linking wouldn't work?

I never figured out why but it does look like the script in question runs other scripts in different directories. Does that matter?
