XFCE desktop Launcher - one-line command how-to
by ACRIzona from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YPJ7)
We often run Terminal and type in commands like: "echo Hello World",
"cat /etc/linuxmint/info", "ping 123.456.7.8".
I want to create desktop XFCE Launchers with one-line commands,,, not using a BASH script.
How-to: Right click on XFCE background and run "Create Launcher".
Enter Name:"OneLiner",
Command: "echo Hello world",
Select "Run in terminal"
click Create.
Click the new launcher to test.
After a short wait, an error message "Failed to run "OneLiner.desktop"
I cannot believe this can be that difficult !
