I want to be able to click an icon on the destop and have it open a shell window and start running a shell script. thanks,

Create new-> Link to Application Application (Enter command ie ."~ /Bin/my_script.sh ") Advanced options [X] Run in Terminal I wonder that you couldn't figure this out just from clicking Around?
