Add 'read' as the last line in the script, which will give you a prompt.

Not a direct answer to your question but related - one of my favourite
Nautilus extensions is the package 'nautilus-open-terminal'. It adds
right-click->Open in Terminal for folders. Then you can execute the
script with `./filename`.

[ubuntu-uk] run a script

2011-07-01 Thread Norman Silverstone
When I right click on a folder containing a script and select Open I am
offered a choice of either Run or Run in Terminal. When I select the
latter a terminal opens and then flashes off again. How do I get to make
the terminal stay open, please. Running GNOME in 11.04.
