Need a pointer here on how to set up an icon to run a shell script from the icon.

I have the script and the program that it run working ok. The script start a java GUI program and I need to set a way to run it easily by clicking on an icon.

Kinda new to Linux and KDE so good 1.2.3 instructions would be nice.

I just got back from Google.com and searched on 'run shell script from icon' (no quotes) and got a ton of stuff about it... But was unable to narrow down a working solution.

Didn't find anything in the How-Tos, Guides, or FAQs at http://www.tldp.org/

Could someone point me to the proper How-To or FAQ that shows how to set something like this up?

Also I need to be in the directory that contains the script. Is this property set from the icon or changed from within the script? If so, what is the command for it? (cd /home/Ken/MyProggie) for instance?

Thanks for your time.

Shoot I just left click any where on the desktop and pick link to application.

Use the full path/script_name in the Execute tab.
