Re: how to do shortcut to a *.sh

so put it into an executable file.

#!/bin/bash
/complete/path/runLimewire.sh &

then change permisions to user:
chown username /path/to/file
and make it executable:
chmod 755 /path/to/file

then all you'll have to do is click on it.

Re: how to do shortcut to a *.sh

or if you're in bash:

alias limewire "sh /path/to/runLimewire.sh"

Re: how to do shortcut to a *.sh

$ chmod +x /path/to/runLimewire.sh
$ ln -s /path/to/runLimewire.sh /usr/local/bin/

Or something like that... But executing a sh file in a sh file as only action doesn't make sense, can as well use a link then. If the thing only runs when executed from its dir then making a small script which first changes to that dir and then executes it is fine.

Re: how to do shortcut to a *.sh

IIRC, limewire does need you to change to that directory...

Re: how to do shortcut to a *.sh

that makes limewire crappy then

actually, I always thought limewire was a great app - at the time of rampant p2p apps (morpheus, kazaa, etc) it was the best... props to java!

Re: how to do shortcut to a *.sh

hmm, actually, i think i didn't something like

#!/bin/bash
cd /complete/path/to/limewire
./runLimewire.sh

called that file Limewire then i think i did an alias

something like that, i'm not at home right now, but it did work
