How to Create a Launcher in Ubuntu Linux

1. Right-click your desktop and select "Create Launcher".

2. If you are creating a custom launcher to a shell script that needs to run in a Terminal, then change the "Type" to be "Application in Terminal".


3. Fill in the "Name" field with a name that means something to you.

4. Click the "Browse" button to  navigate to the "Command" you want it to launch.

5. Fill in the "Comment" field with a comment that means something to you.

6. Click "OK".

If you prefer, you can drag and drop the resulting desktop launcher onto your top desktop panel.
