Question How to make a script (Bash, KornShell, etc.) executable by mouse clicking?

Hello everybody,

Is there any way to make a script (Bash, KornShell, etc.) executable
by mouse clicking?

For example you have a file myscript.sh, you run:

Code:
$ chmod u+x myscript.sh

Therefore it becomes executable and all you need is to run from
the terminal:

Code:
$./myscript.sh

However, I've seen that there are scripts that can be run only by
clicking on the icon file instead of running the script in the
terminal. How should I proceed in order to run the script that way?

Thanks in advance,
Smilie

NAME
systemd-rc-local-generator - Compatibility generator for starting /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local during boot and shutdown SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-rc-local-generator is a generator that checks whether /etc/rc.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the rc-local.service unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running this script during late boot. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not translate to systemd. The script is run after network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system services. systemd-rc-local-generator also checks whether /usr/sbin/halt.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the halt-local.service unit into the shutdown process. This unit is responsible for running this script during later shutdown. Support for both /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local is provided for compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of these scripts today, and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run during the boot or shutdown processes. systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
