Developers: Can you create a very fast shell script runner? I have NO code skill or I'd do it myself.

Basically I want to create application menu items that will start up an xterm and run a console command without having to fire up xterm and hand-tap-tap-tap-tap it out manually.

I'd bet it's under an hour of code for a real programmer but it'd take me days.

You can do what I did: create a .desktop file in /etc/others-menu somewhere - the "Extras" menu is even modifiable without root access. Just copy one of the other entries and modify it to your heart's desire. I have menu items to enable/disable RS-MMC swap, to mount my LAN's shared NFS drive, and to turn on/off sshd.

Live via 770:

gnuite: Reggie should hound you to write all this up!

-- edited to add:

In fact, stuff like this should be compiled (Roger!) into an ebook we can refer to on our 770s (Roger!).

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't osso-xterm accept the -c option to allow you to append a command?
