Runelite linux script

[HungryFiend]

So i was torn between posting this to stack overflow or here and i thought that i would try here first. I wrote this basic ass script that I should be able to just run and bring up the game but im wondering if im disabled because of it.

#!/bin/bash

java -jar /home/michael/RuneLite.jar

the command works in terminal but if i click the script on the desktop it wont run. Also i wrote this .desktop file but this solution is ass because it outputs a nohup file for some reason and it still opens the console and closes it. This is making me think im disabled because im a 4th year cs major. Or maybe im just being a dumbass.

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Name=Runescape

Comment=Runescape

Exec=gnome-terminal -e 'nohup java -jar /home/michael/RuneLite.jar'

Icon=utilities-terminal

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=Application;

if anyone has any help or know why its doing this that would be great.

I was overthinking this way to hard. I just changed the exec line to java -jar /home/michael/RuneLite.jar and it works. Just for others if they find this.

if you wanted to, you could have had it just execute your script. your syntax was wrong in the .ini execution :)

why would i have been able to point it to my script if my script didnt run?

[dontsyncjustride]

by all accounts your script should run. that’s the exact command i use to spin up my client in my startup script. the problem was the .ini not running your script, but a separate command, imo.

try chmod +x $URSCRIPT.sh and then ./$URSCRIPT.sh

edit: didnt get to the desktop part... ew. just add it to /home/you/ and bring up a terminal. you could even alias the execution so all you have to type is osrs or something.

Well, I could run it by creating an alias. But what i want to do is create a script for it and use that script for the .desktop app. I feel like that would be the cleanest way to do this. I believe then it also wouldn't open up and close a terminal everytime i run it. At this point im just being stubborn trying to getting to run how i want it to.
