I need a "launch" icon

I am having an issue with my Bash scripts running on PCLinuxOS. I modify them in my ~/Documents folder - then I move them to /usr/local/bin. I also mark them executable. When I run them in a console they run perfectly. If I set up a simple link to them (on my desktop) and double-click it nothing happens. I just want an icon on my desktop that will launch my scripts correctly.

(I have already modified the permissions on the folder so that I can execute from it).

Thank you in advance.

Mod Comment Not about scripting, thread moved to Linux forum

Please, please, please stop moving my posts/threads !!

I originally opened a thread asking where to ask my question. A moderator moved that thread and replied that I should post my question in the shell scripting forum. So, that's where I posted. Now, a different mod has moved my question to the forum I originally asked about. I would truly appreciate if THE SUPREME MODERATOR will please tell me whether to post my scripting questions in the Shell scripting forum or the Linux forum. And, as I stated in my original question... there is neither a PCLinuxOS sub-forum nor a "other" sub-forum. So, if I'm supposed to ask Linux questions in the Linux forum please counsel me as to which distro sub-forum I should use given that there is not one for my distro.

My apologies, but this is my first experience with a forum where the mods don't work together. I'm baffled as to how to respond.
