How do I create desktop icons for the shell programs I create???
I am a bash shell programmer and I create programs on occasional basis.
Now, I dont want my programs to be run by typing out its name at a command line. I want to make it as user friendly as possible. I want to create icons on the desktop so users can click on it. mind you, I said "desktop icons" not "panel applets".
Also, is there anyway i can design my own icons instead of picking from the list of icons given to me by my operating system which is Linux Red Hat 7.2

MUGS(9.1) MUGS(9.1)
NAME
mugs - make face icons from pictures
SYNOPSIS
mugs [ -a ] [ -1 ] [ -2 ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Mugs interactively converts grey-scale images in the form of picfile(9.6) into 48x48 icons. It is designed to run in a pipe, reading the
picture from standard input unless a single file is given on the call. Mugs displays a large approximation to the original picture and a
matrix of 48x48 icons of varying contrast and brightness. Button 1 selects one of the icons. Button 2 offers the menu entries:
in Zoom in to a finer contrast/brightness range around the selected icon. Repeated ins will zoom in farther.
out Opposite of in.
reset Set the brightness/contrast range to the maximum.
Both in and out preserve the brightness/contrast values in the selected icon. Button 3 presents a menu with entries:
window Select a square window in the large picture using button 3. Touch down at the top and center of the square and slide around to
adjust its size. Appropriately cropped icons will be displayed.
depth Toggle between 1- and 2-bit deep icons.
write Write the selected icon to standard output. Each write produces 48 lines of text suitable for initializing an array in C. 1-bit
deep icons produce three shorts per line; 2-bit depths are written as three longs per line.
abort Terminate mugs with a non-blank error return.
finish Terminate with a null status return.
Option -a indicates that picture files have non-square pixels with aspect ratio 1.25, as produced by some frame grabbers. Normally pixels
are assumed to be square. -1 and -2 select the initial depth of the icons. -2 is default.
