Hi guys

I was wondering how can one create a shortcut to run a cli app. i created a .desktop file at /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon/
which worked well for gui apps but i cant do it for term apps. I have been using this as the command:

osso-xterm -e COMMAND

but that dosent seem to work

can anyone point me in the right direction?

thx

Zeltak

work for me :
make a script with your commands : my_app.sh
put shortcut
my_app.desktop in /usr/share/applications/hildon

Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm "nohup /home/user/my_app.sh "&""
