On my Ubuntu 64bit, I have a virtual lab having routers and switches running on top of VM ware virtuized cent OS.
I open the GUI for the routers and switches in the firefox browser. when i try to telnet to the devices, there is a popup asking the application to be used.
I manually select the gnome-terminal to login to these devices. To make things easier i tried to run a script so when i click any device it should directly open up gnome and telnet to respective IP and port,(so for example if router IP:port is 192.168.1.5 : 2012 then the click on device should result in opening up of gnome-terminal window telnetting to the IP and port combination )
below is the script i saved on my drive and ask the popup to execute, but nothing happens. .no gnome terminal opens up....
any idea if there is issue in the script or anything i might be doing wrong
please find the attached screen shot of trying to run script through pop up (pardon my bad gimp skills!)
