This post and one in another thread are both triggered by my intention to install RPCEmu on a laptop. Originally, I installed it on my desktop Linux PC which gave rise to my queries in this thread.

Originally, to run RPCEmu, I had used the following lines in the terminal: cd rpcemu-0.9.3 ./rpcemu-recompiler After my request for help (and being timid and not having dealt with scripts before) I put them into a text file and copied and pasted them into the terminal and hit enter. As my sophistication grew(!!!) I added a return to the text so that I didn't have to hit enter. It all worked but I got fed up with c&p so I today I looked again at the suggestions I was given. Brian's method worked when the script was in the rpcemu-0.9.3 directory but creating a link and putting it on the desktop failed. No doubt my limited knowledge of Linux has let me down here. Jim's and Peter's suggestions were very similar though I don't know what the significance is between their two first lines: Jim's ends in /sh and Peter's in /bash - again, my lack of knowledge is letting me down. I've ended up using the following: #!/bin/bash cd /home/john/rpcemu-0.9.3 ./rpcemu-recompiler This works but, having changed the file permissions to make it executable, I have to select Run from the resulting four options after double-clicking on the file on the desktop. Is it possible to make it RPCEmu run from just a double click on the file?
