Hey people! Ok i have a quick question. I've written a simple yes no bash script. I know i can run it from the terminal but i was wondering if there's anyway of executing it by means of double clicking it with the mouse. Please keep in mind I'm brand new to bash.

I should emphasize the script is in kdialog but if needs be i can rewrite it in dialog.

How are you running the script in the terminal? If you are using the source or . commands the execute permission is not checked.
To check if the script is executable in dolphin, right click the file, properties, permissions tab, check "Is executable", or in a konsole, it should look something like
The x means executable. (In a konsole, you could use chmod +x to set the executable bits.)Code:$ ls -l *.sh -rwxrwxr-x 1 john john 99 Aug 29 13:59 t.sh
If it is marked executable, there can be other reasons dolphin doesn't want to run it. In dolphin's settings, configure dolphin, General, confirmations tab, there is the "When opening an executable file" drop down; I have it set to "always ask".
If the script is on removable media, the media is normally mounted with the "noexec" option, but the source command will still work IIRC.Regards, John LittleComment

Hiya Jittle!! Thanks for getting back to me. When i execute the files i do it through the terminal by entering ./ before the .sh file.
the ls command gave me the following:
Here's the annoying part, two of the .sh files run when i double click them.-rwxrwxr-x 1 yikes yikes 319 Oct 30 17:37 chatgpt2revised.sh

Ok the weirdest thing just happened. I looked at the two files that do actually run. Both of them hadWhen i looked at one of the scripts that wouldn't run there was a double line. I changed it and reran the files, guess what! It works.#!/bin/bash
In hindsight probably posted the code here, I don't doubt you guys would have picked up on the error.
Thanks for your help Jittle!!
