Launching script from icon
I want to put a button on the tablet desktop that, when clicked, launches
a script inside an xterm. On my gnome desktop, I use "add to panel", "custom application launcher", pick an icon and use a command like 'gnome-terminal -t goofy -e "ssh -i ~/goofy.key -e goofy.example.com"' I can put a button on a panel, a drawer etc. - one click and I've got a login screen. Then I put down the mouse and type ... I know this has been asked before, but I'm still having trouble (N810, OS2008). kerez: just found it, works, still not one-click launch. simple-launcher: didn't work for me hacking a .desktop : didn't work for me cmd-navigator, personal-menu: controls appear in settings/control-panel, but I can't find how to actually launch the command ... heck, I guess I can do it myself ... Code:
/* launch.c */ Code:
[Desktop Entry] Code:
[D-BUS Service] Code:
exec osso-xterm -e "ssh donald@goofy.example.com" /etc/init.d/af-startup stop ; /etc/init.d/af-startup start Now I can find the icon in control panel/panels/applications-organize and drag it to "my selection". 2 taps. :) (kerez is more versatile, but it seems to hang around consuming memory) With a bit of tinkering, I could probably put the ssh command right in the C program without the intervening shell script, but then I'd have to recompile to change anything. "launch" is 3Kb stripped. |
