You probably don't have execute permissions on the script. Try running chmod u+x /home/martin/scripts/icqmessage.sh Also, the first line of the script has to be "#!/bin/bash". This tells the operating system with which program to run the script. Alternatively, you could lose the "-c" in your argument list, so that your parameter is /home/martin/scripts/icqmessage.sh message %a (no quotes). Hope to help.
