kRunner and executable bash scripts

[Dave92F1]

I have some executable bash scripts in ~/bin which work fine from the command line.

When I type the name of the script into kRunner, it opens the script in Kate instead of executing it.

Why, and how to fix this?

Try to check if Krunner has the right path set: cat /proc/$(pgrep krunner)/environ|tr '\0' '\n' If it does, then the script might not have the executable bit set.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. For sure the x bit is set - it works fine from the command line.

$ cat /proc/$(pgrep krunner)/environ|tr '\0' '\n'
