Hi,


Ca anyone help, I've created a button on my GUI interface and the button is linked to a shell script. I need for that 
when the button is clicked the terminal windows opens and display what the shell script is running.... I've link this to
 the button

pterm -Q /bin/script.sh

pterm opens but I get a "exec format error"

your help is highly appreciated


Thanks in advance

Re: Pterm

Is your script starting with:

#!/bin/sh

line ?

Re: Pterm

No it does not, but I've added the line !/bin/sh to the shell script and I get the same error message, I've also tried 
the following lines:

/bin/sh
/bin/ksh
and
#!/bin/sh from the response but this line will have no effect since it is hashed out or am I wrong?

help appreciated

Re: Pterm

Problem solved,

Pterm can not accept a shell script as an argument rather a binary file, so I launch Pterm with the binary as the 
argument then the binary call the shell script



Thanks
