How do you execute a regular Terminal shell script in BeOS, but from the Be menu/double clicking it? When I try to double click on it, it opens StyledEdit. When I tell it to use Terminal instead, it tells me it''s not a Terminal prefs file. How do you do it, then?
Thanks in advance.

BeOS scripting
I think you''d have to associate it with the shell executable (not the terminal executable). (sh?)

Hmm... I think it is sh, thanks. But when I try to use FileTypes to link sh (or anything else in bin, for that matter, even if I copy it to my own bin) to my script, it won''t. It just leaves it at whatever I had selected and doesn''t add it to the list. Huh?

Hey, got it. Thanks for your help. I found out I needed to chmod 755 it- didn''t know that. Works snazzy now.

Thanks for letting me know that. I was going crazy trying to figure out why I could do it, and you couldn''t. I guess my security settings are a little lax.
