What is the proper way to create a desktop launcher to open a X11 app or
run a UNIX command in Snow Leopard?
There's many ways, but the simplest (if ugliest) is to create a shell script with the ".command" file extension, and set it to chmod +x.
If you want to prettify it, stick it in an Automator workflow and save it as an app.
Hope that helps, -- Ernie P. |
