 Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 5:44 pm Post subject: Gnome custom application launcher [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I was wondering if there was a way to make a custom application launcher than runs in a terminal and then keeps the terminal open after its done. I was rsync-ing my iPod with an application launcher button from the gnome panel but after it finishes the terminal closes and I can't see the stats that rsync displays at the end. I couldn't find an option to do this

Wrap your rsync command in a little script, like so, and change your launcher to to run the script in a terminal: | Code: | #!/bin/sh
rsync blah blah blah ...
read -p "Press Enter to close..." |
