\nCreate a new text file called yourname.desktop in the \/home\/pi\/Desktop\/ directory, e.g. \/home\/pi\/Desktop\/yourname.desktop\n<\/p>\n
\nIt should contain the following:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n[Desktop Entry]\r\nName=My Name\r\nComment=My application which does this\r\nIcon=\/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/openbox.xpm\r\nExec=\/usr\/bin\/leafpad\r\nType=Application\r\nEncoding=UTF-8\r\nTerminal=false\r\nCategories=None;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n \n<\/p>\n
\nName – The name you want displayed\n<\/p>\n
\nComment – Your comment\n<\/p>\n
\nIcon – A file to use for the icon. Your own or have a look in the \/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/ directory for something suitable.\n<\/p>\n
\nExec – The executable (can include sudo if your executable uses the IO). Can be the name of an executable program, or more complex, e.g. Exec=lxterminal –command "less \/root\/README.TXT"\n<\/p>\n
\nExecuting A Command In LX Terminal
\n<\/h4>\n
\nThe following will open LX terminal, wait for 5 seconds and then it will close:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n[Desktop Entry]\r\nName=Name to be shown on desktop\r\nComment=My comment\r\nIcon=\/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/openbox.xpm\r\nExec=lxterminal -t "Tile to display" -e sleep 5\r\nType=Application\r\nEncoding=UTF-8\r\nTerminal=false\r\nCategories=None;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nLX Terminal will auto close once the command is complete. You can't give more than 1 command in the -e launch options (you can't give it "-e dosomething ; sleep 5" for instance as a way to make it hold showing the result after dosomething. \n<\/p>\n
\nStopping The LX Terminal Auto Closing Or Doing Multiple Things
\n<\/h4>\n
\nThe simple way to get round the Lxterminal only being able to take one command is to have it run a bash script.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe .desktop file
\n<\/h5>\n\r\n\r\n[Desktop Entry]\r\nName=Name to be shown on desktop\r\nComment=My comment\r\nIcon=\/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/openbox.xpm\r\nExec=lxterminal -t "Sending Crack The Code MAIN Leader Board To Internet" --working-directory=\/home\/pi\/projects\/scripts\/ -e .\/myscript.sh \r\nType=Application\r\nEncoding=UTF-8\r\nTerminal=false\r\nCategories=None;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nThe .sh script
\n<\/h5>\n\r\n\r\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\n\r\necho "Starting upload of database"\r\nread dummy\r\necho "next"\r\nmysqldump -h localhost -u user1 -p123456789 mydatabase tbl_universities | mysql -h mydomain.com -u user1 -p123456789 mydatabase\r\necho "Complete.
