You can do it manually by making following text file: Code: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Name of your shortcut Exec=Command that you want to do Icon=/patch/to/your/icon.png And name it something.desktop Then place it to /home/user/.local/share/applications
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Name of your shortcut Exec=Command that you want to do Icon=/patch/to/your/icon.png
Terminal=true
Exec=/bin/sh /home/user/myscript.sh
I could not find /home/user/myscript.sh running /bin/sh instead
