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

vncserver

vncserver(1)							     TightVNC							      vncserver(1)

NAME

       vncserver - a wrapper to launch an X server for VNC.

SYNOPSIS

       vncserver [:display] [-geometry widthxheight] [-depth depth] [-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN] [-name desktop-name] [Xvnc-options...]

       vncserver -kill :display

       vncserver -help

DESCRIPTION

       vncserver is a wrapper script for Xvnc, the free X server for VNC (Virtual Network Computing). It provides all capabilities of a standard X
       server, but does not connect to a display for itself.  Instead, Xvnc creates a virtual desktop you can view or control remotely using a VNC
       viewer.

OPTIONS

       You  can  add  Xvnc  options at the command line. They will be added to the invocation of Xvnc without changes. The options provided by the
       vncserver itself are as follows:

       :display
	      The display number to use. If omitted, the next free display number is used.

       -geometry widthxheight
	      Set desktop width and height.

       -depth depth
	      Set the colour depth of the visual to provide, in bits per pixel. Must be a value between 8 and 32.

       -pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN
	      Set colour format for pixels representation. The viewer can do the conversion to any other pixel format, but it  is  faster  if  the
	      depth and pixel format of the server is the same as the equivalent values on the viewer display.

       -name string
	      This specifies the name of the desktop.

       -kill :display
	      Stops the session running on the specified display.

       -help  Prints a short usage notice to stderr.

EXAMPLES

       vncserver
	      Invokes Xvnc on the next available display and with suitable defaults.

       vncserver :1
	      Invokes Xvnc on display :1.

       vncserver -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 :1
	      Invokes Xvnc on display :1 with desktop size of 800x600 pixels and color depth of 16 bits per pixel.

       vncserver -kill :1
	      Shuts down Xvnc server on display :1.
