How can I run a Unix script from a desktop icon?

I have a Unix script I've created in vi and would like to run it by double clicking on an icon on my desktop. I would like to do this without the additional application layer of Applescript, Automator or Terminal. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Howard

Sounds like a job for platypus.

  • Can we run a unix script from sql plus

    Thank You
    KKWithin sqlplus you can run
    1) SQL statements
    2) PL/SQL blocks
    3) any valid sqlplus command.
    SQLplus commands are documented in the SQLPlus reference manual. For 10g this is found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm. You might be interested in the HOST command, detailed at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch12026.htm#sthref2314
    Just beware that the HOST command (or the shortcut version of it alluded to by Warren Tolentino) spawns a child process. When control comes back to sqlplus, that child process is gone.
    What is the business problem you are trying to solve? If we knew that we could probably give better advice than blindly giving you the correct technical answer to a narrow question.

  • How can I run a Java-Application with a Desktop-Icon ?

    Hello,
    I have got a problem: I want my Java-application directly by clicking on a desktop icon. Is there anybody who can tell me how to do so ? (I don't want to change my application into an exe File !!!).
    It would be nice if you could give me a detailed explanation (or a link to thus) because I'm not used to the Windows-Classpath System (...as far as I need this...I don't know).
    Thank you very much,

  • How can I run a SQL script file...

    How can I run a SQL script file from a location on my computer without providing the whole path?
    Is there some way I can set a "Working folder" in SQL Plus??
    Thanks!
    Tom

    You can create an environment variable called "SQLPATH" which is a list of directories that SQL*Plus will search for your .SQL
    scripts.
    I would like to use another directory than the oracle/bin...
    How can I do this ??
    Hello,
    U can do this by this way:
    Save odm_script.sql file to the default Oracle
    directory i.e. Oracle-Home/bin and Run following command
    through SQL Plus.
    SQL>@Script_Name
    I hope this will resolve ur problem.

    I made a bootable disc on an external hard drive, with Yosemite on it.  I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac.  How can I open the Yosemite disc from the desktop on my iMac?  Does the external hard drive need to be connected to my iMac by firewire to do that?

    Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

  • How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.

  • How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

    How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?  I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

    When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
    One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container.  You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
    Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

  • How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

    Hi,
    can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
    Regards,
    Ak

    One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
    1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
    2)put the mapping
    The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
    The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
    f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
    You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
    CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
    DECLARE
    PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
    And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
    sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
    Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
    To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
    Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
    I hope this helps.

  • How to run a Unix Script from a specific user

    Hi,
    I want to run a GoldenGate related unix script from a super user. I have created crontab enter from that super user. But its still running from root user. As GGSCI cannot be invoked other than super user, the Script is failing.

    Hi.
    can you show:

    grep <super user> /etc/passwd (It's not clear for me, what you call super user. For me - root is super user. )
