Tom,
  When creating the Launcher shortcut, I nominate the filepath to where the eldy.sh lives.  All I get when I run this is the Terminal flashing up for a fraction of a second then nothing else happens.  I've also tried setting up a bash file, nominating the filepath in the Launcher s/cut to this and applying executable permish to it .... all to no avail.  What am I doing wrong!?!    Jack.

To the guys that helped me with the Eldy install:  it's working, thanks very much!  And I have learnt some things...  I've tried to add a Launcher s/cut to the desktop to run this, but it won't work; any idea why not?  It deffo works running it from the CLI.  (I did choose Application in  Terminal for this s/cut.)      Thanks again.     Jack.

make sure you run it in the correct directory.

When you set up the Launcher, choose "Application in Terminal Windows" in the "Type" field.

Edit the script and put a "read" statement at the end. This will pause the script so hopefully will let you see what's happening before the script closes the terminal windows.

eg:

#!/bin/bash
# init
function pause(){
   read -p "$*"
}
 
# ...
# call it
pause 'Press any key to continue...'
# rest of the script
# ...
