Simple script - execute command on selected file
- by askmoo
I want to make a script that will execute .jar file on selected file. Later I will add that script to right-click menu via the tool Nautilus Actions or just place it into nautilus-scripts folder. I have a problem creating script.
When I am in a usual console screen and want to execute this jar file on any other file, I use this syntax
myfile.jar ./someotherfile.xml
and the jar file will write the output to the console screen.
So I created a file script.sh, added lines in it
#!/bin/bash
/home/username/myfile.jar $1
But it does not output anything. I know I am doing something wrong. Please help.
To sum, I need a script that will use selected file as a parameter, open the gnome-terminal, inside that terminal it will start JAR file and pass it the selected file.
I am confident that this is a very simple procedure, but I am total newbie with shell scripting.
