HI, i created an application wich works well, no errors in compiling, and during runtime.
To run my application i open a terminal, move to the correct directory using “cd path”, then “./application” what i want to do is to create a link to this app. so with a simple click i can run my app.

I already added in the shelf my app, but when i click on it, it opens and then sudenly closes it self, i cant figure out why…

is there a way to make a link to an application ? any1 here can helpme out ?

or at least some one kowns how can i make a file like those “.bat” from windows, like a script that i can run from the terminal.

thanks for your help. // Marcopolo

Does your script have “#!/bin/sh” as the first line ? or alternatively, you could try:

“/usr/photon/bin/pterm sh /full/path/to/myscript”
