    The permissions are set correctly I have it set to allow executing file as program checked and I typed in

    /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh

    sh /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh

    sudo sh /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh

    and i have made it an application and application in terminal

    Post the script file, maybe something is amiss with the code.

    Re: .sh launcher

    i assume it works normally from terminal?
    what does ls -l /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh say?


    and what about
    sh -c "/usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava; ./JES.sh"
    crazy idea but who knows

    Could you also clarify if it works via the terminal, or is it just not working via the GUI?

    You may need to run it using
    Code:
    bash /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh

    Re: .sh launcher

    Hello everyone I can run the program by going to the directory threw the terminal

    cd /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava

    then

    ./JES.sh

    I can also go to the file and double click on it and it works

    the output of ls -l /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh is

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 william william 372 2009-12-16 15:16 /usr/bin/Jython/jes-4-3-nojava/JES.sh

    I also tried sh -c "/usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava; ./JES.sh" and nothing

    Thanks for helping

    Re: .sh launcher

    sh.t, i made an error
    sh -c "cd /usr/bin/jython/jes-4-3-nojava; ./JES.sh"

    this is a single command that does these 2 working steps - cd dir, execute script
