Apologies. I missed out the gksudo in my last message:
The following works OK:
sPath = "/home/john/Temp orary/q w.desktop"
sLogPath = "/home/john/Temporary/Log.txt"
Wait 1
sCommand = "gksudo " & "desktop-file-install " & " " &
Shell$(sPath) &
" >/dev/null 2>" & Shell$(sLogPath)
hProcess = Shell sCommand
Do
Wait 0.1
Loop Until hProcess.State <> Process.Running
But the following comes back with the help lines for gksudo i.e. where
it does not understand the rest:
sPath = "/home/john/Temp orary/q.desktop"
Exec ["gksudo", "desktop-file-install", sPath] Wait
PS If I change sPath to not have a space in the directory (e.g. using
Temporary) but having a space in the filename (e.g. q w.desktop) then I
get the same.
