I add the following command text to a custom panel launcher:
/usr/bin/zenity --info --text "$(/usr/bin/ibam -a)" &
I get the zenity pop-up but it reports only
$(/usr/bin/ibam -a)
From a shell command line, I get the same ibam output with and without the zenity pop-up.
Q1: How do I get this to work with zenity or similar from a gnome panel launcher?
Q2: Please direct me to descriptions of the panel-->command-->shell mechanics. It looks like I might need to wrap my desired command with bash -c or similar so that shell substitution happens.
Merci d'avance,
