how to make .desktop file/script
 
I made this .desktop file so I can kill CuteTube, OVP and Firefox because they run background after I close em.

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=killall
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps/killall.png
Exec=killall cutetube
Exec=killall openmediaplayer
Exec=killall fennec
But it works only for one comand (last one,fennec) How to have many comands working.
Code:
Exec=killall cutetube killall openmediaplayer killall fennec
Didint work


Then another thing how to open conversation with desktop shortcut without going to messaging and then pressing conversation from right down corner.

Thanks.

try write script and exec it

for exsample:

Code:
#!blah-blah-blah

killall cutetube
..and etc.

Re: how to make .desktop file
 
Or maybe do something like:
Code:
Exec=killall cutetube && killall openmediaplayer && killall fennec
Though putting it in a separate script and then executing it might be more convenient. And && will only execute the next command if the first command executes correctly, so if 'killall cutetube' errors out, the other ones won't run. So a separate script is better, but this is something you can do if you don't feel like making the separate script.

Don't forget to make the script file executable though (chmod +x [scriptfile]) on the command-line, or some file managers might let you change it without having to go to the command-line, I wouldn't know.

freedesktop.org is helpful.

Mikkosssss,

In your exec field you can have it as Exec=/home/user/kill.sh

with kill.sh contents being:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

1=cutetube
2=openvideoplayer
3=fennec

if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$1" > /dev/null
then
kill `pgrep -f "$1"`
fi
if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$2" > /dev/null
then
kill `pgrep -f "$2"`
fi
if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$3" > /dev/null
then
kill `pgrep -f "$3"`
fi
Of course use top to check if those are the process names exactly first ;)

Not an expert still my two cents
try
Exec=killall openmediaplayer cutetube fennec pulseaudio

please add pulseaudio only when media player is playing or you want to close it
