Right click your desktop and select "Create Launcher" in GNOME.

Otherwise create a file in your Desktop directory that look like this


[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=No name
Type=Application
Exec=/my_scripts/alfresco.sh start
TryExec=
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/myicon.png
X-GNOME-DocPath=
Terminal=false
Name[en_ZA]=Start Alfresco
GenericName[en_ZA]=Start Alfresco
Comment[en_ZA]=

I copied the contents in a desktop file but when I run it it does't start alfresco as it should do (like it does when we run it in terminal mode with sudo ./alfresco.sh start)

! My apologies if changed the script and now it runs ok
Thanks a lot for the info
