I thought for a while that I could not launch shell scripts from kfm in my [slink] debian dist. (my slackware dist. works no problem) but it was
the environment variables that I was referencing inside the scripts... e.g. below I simply create a kdelnk file using the below script file, and point and click should just work: #!/bin/sh # if [ -f $HOME/.Xstuff ]; then xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xstuff fi if [ -f $XAPPDIR/xappbinary ]; then cd $XAPPDIR ; exec $XAPPDIR/xappbinary fi If I simply replace the above PATH env variables with the real pathnames, the scripts launch fine. So curiousity has the better of me... Now why would kfm be able to interpret the SHELL enviroment variables in Slackware and not in Debian. Not that it matters likely, but I run in tcsh. TIA, Ralph remove 'no-soc' for personal replies should someone be kind enough to save me face.
