oh wise men <br>
have an executable bash script. <br>
can execute it using terminal window - no issues. <br>
when i copy the script from the bin dir to desktop, the execute it from<br>
there by<br>
double clicking on the file name (with a made up icon), it displays buttons:<br>
a) run in terminal<br>
b) run<br>
c) display<br>
d) cancel <br>
using either a) or b) above, the program terminates just after a few bytes<br>
of output.<br>
tried it several times. even tried it when an empty terminal was on the<br>
screen. <br>
any ideas? <br>
