Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Executing shell script from desktop Post 302861075 by sea on Tuesday 8th of October 2013 04:57:09 AM

You could place:
  • the script itself
  • a symlink to the script
  • a script that sources the script
  • a desktopfile which executes the script
A desktopfile could look like:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Script-Tools
Comment=A collection of bash scripts to accomplish diffrent tasks.\n* Change plymouth\n* Change grub2 theme\n* Toggle Repo's (En-/Disable)\nand more...
Exec=/usr/bin/st
Icon=/usr/share/script-tools/Script-Core/Templates/SSTLogocombined.svg
Terminal=true

If it is more about the script, then it might differ from the tools required to access/connect to the server.
If you have provided the info in ~/.netrc (machine URL login USER password PW where the capitals are your values) it could looks like this:
Code:
ftp my.domain.com<EOF
lcd /path/to/local
cd /path/remote
prompt
mput *
bye
EOF

This would upload all files in /path/to/local to /path/remote without asking to upload/overwrite to your ftp server.

Hope this helps

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) 					  System Administration Commands					   SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)

NAME

       script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications

DESCRIPTION

       script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
       addresses specified in the MAILTO property.

PROPERTIES

       This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
       script configuration.

       MAILTO

	   List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
	     property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"

EXAMPLE

       In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server.  The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
       the email system unchanged.  The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
       notification.
	define script-tool pre-email {
	  comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
	  plugin  "script-email"
	  execute-on pre-dle-backup
	  execute-where server
	  property "mailto" "amanda"
	}

	define dumptype user-tar-email {
	  user-tar
	  script "pre-email"
	}
