OK,

Put this in a script (using leafpad for example, but not notes) called myscript.sh in the folder /home/user/

Make it execulable: chmod 755 /home/user/myscript.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# gain superuser rights.

if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
    exec sudo gainroot <<EOF
exec sh $0 $*
EOF
	exit $?
fi   

# put your code below

rmmod wl12xx; 
rmmod mac80211; 
rmmod cfg80211; 
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/neo/compat.ko; 
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/neo/rfkill_backport.ko; 
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/neo/cfg80211.ko; 
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/neo/mac80211.ko; 
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/neo/wl1251.ko; 
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/neo/wl1251_spi.ko;

exit;

execute it as user by simply in an xterm:
/home/user/myscript.sh

If it does what you need then in your desktop file replace the exec line with:
Exec=/home/user/myscript.sh

So if you type each command manually, then it works fine?
But if all commands are in a script then it doesn't?

You could try putting a sleep command inbetween each command, I don't know if that would work.

Using Mac TexEdit, converted files to plantext. Uploaded via sftp on FileZilla.

It works. The myscript.sh.

I ****ing love you. Ah, you're lucky I don't know you IRL, I might just have to rape you!

I'm gonna change the .desktop files now and make sure it does indeed work.

Thanks! You're awesome!

Ah! are you a Mac user?

Linux uses LF to denote new lines
Windows uses CRLF to denote new lines
Do Macs use CR to denote new lines? I think they might.

Linux throws a wobbly at CR new line characters saying stuff like 'no such file or directory' and 'does not exist' errors.

Hi!

I would like a shortcut that
1. opens X terminal
2. Runs
nohup x11vnc -forever&
3. And then waits there until I do a Ctrl+C

I have tried with a /usr/local/bin/StartVNCserver.sh with

Code:

#!/bin/sh
nohup x11vnc -forever&

And in /usr/share/applications/hildon/StartVNCserver.desktop I have

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=StartVNCserver
Exec=/usr/local/bin/StartVNCserver.sh
Icon=terminal
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true

If I try with

Code:

Exec=osso-xterm

it opens a terminal, so I have also tried with

Code:

Exec=osso-xterm "nohup x11vnc -forever&"

But it don't stay there, it only closes down.

How can I do it?
