How do I create a Launcher in Ubuntu 9.10 that runs a shell script?
- by mkelley33
Here's my situation:
New to Ubuntu (just installed 9.10 Karmic Koala 64 bit)
Purpose: to easily run PyCharm without too much typing (ie. cd... ./pycharm.sh)
Want to create desktop Launcher instead of terminal & typing (without resorting to the "Run in Terminal" option)
Tried to create Launcher to executes .sh script in Document directory
Right-clicked Desktop Create Launcher
a. Type == Application; Browse [insert absolute path to .sh script]; no luck
b. Type == Application in Terminal; Browse ...ditto
I'm open to any other alternatives that involve as little typing as possible. I would like to just start Ubuntu, click Launcher icons, and have terminals spring to life, running the intended scripts.
Crazy? No. Lazy? Probably. Productive? Hopefully :)
