    combine commands in launcher

    I would like to create a launcher that will open a terminal to execute the following three commands, and after that the terminal will close automatically, so how to combine these commands to make it? thanks for help.

    gksu
    cd /usr/share/xxx
    svn update


    PS: I have tried the following methods, but none works,

    1. gksu cd /usr/share/xxx && svn update
    2. cd /usr/share/xxx && gksu svn update
    3. I create a script s.sh like this

    #! /bin/sh
    cd /usr/share/xxx
    svn update

    and put command 'gksu sh /usr/share/xxx/s.sh' (without quotes) in launcher

    gksu can't be used with cd; cd is a shell built-in, not a regular command

    I'm pretty sure you don't need to cd to the directory that you're updating with svn; Try:
    Code:
    gksudo svn update /usr/share/xxx
