Noob Question - Linux Batch Commands?

[devils@dvocate]

I have just started in the world of Linux. I am a computer engineer so do know a little bit. The question has probably been asked before but couldnt find the answer with a search.. I have two progs that will only start with the console i.e. './program.sh'. This is obviously time consuming and would rather have an icon for the prog. Is there some way to create an icon that would run the command line to open the program, maybe a batch command like this:

CD /Home/Programs/FTP Client/ ./ftp.sh

Obviosuly this would not work 'as is' but any help on this woulld be much appreciated. Also i keep double typing letters in linux, which doesnt happen in Windows (i type quite fast)

I think if you are using Gnome, you can put all your scripts in the nautilus-scripts/ directory. The following article explains it in great detail.

Hope that helps.
