Re: [PLUG] Problem Launching Script from KDE Menu
|
You could make the command from the menu something like this:
/home/cshank/bin/myfile.sh > logfile 2>&1
and then examine the logfile.
I'll bet that it runs a "simple" shell configuration without
sourcing the .bashrc file (much in the same way that the
cron does.) Try adding ". .bashrc" to the shell script as
the first line.
