run .sh instead of view

[Andreas1]

so far i tried

online    in home, run "online"     resulting in gedit
online.sh in home, run "online.sh"  resulting in gedit
online.sh in bin,  run "online.sh"  resulting in error no such file

now i tried

online    in bin, run "online"      script is executed!

although i find that behaviour a bit weird i am glad i have what i want now, thank you for your patience!

um, shouldn't i be able to mark this thread as solved? i can't find the option under thread tools...

Jst an FYI,
its normal behavior to have to use

./

in front of .sh files to run them

so

./online.sh

isn't strange behavior in any sense.

Weird about the Solved issue. "Thanks" disappeared a while back too...

It doesn't look to me like you're actually removing the .sh extension from the file. Try "mv online.sh online" in the terminal from the directory in which the file is located (or just rename it in nautilus), then just type "online" to run it.

oh, sorry, i just used code tags to have a table with fixed font here, this is not code, i did remove the extension in nautilus.

I have had the same issue.
Andreas1, You helped me a lot in resolving that!
AFAIK it's enough to call the script like this:

./script-name

Sounds like SOLVED to me.
