I downloaded the PS3 media server for linux, which comes in a tar.gz, so i decompressed it, (btw, i alrdy installed java) and when i try to run the .sh for it to open, i always get the "open with" window... how do i get it to run as a program
A .sh file is a shell script. It is basically a text file with commands in it. If it starts with something like
#! /bin/sh
and has execution permissions set you can run it from the command line by typing ./some.sh. If it does not have those things you can run it from the command line by typing "sh some.sh".
Usually it will be associated with an editor, so if you click on it it opens for you to edit.
