Hi Chill,
This is pretty cool and I gave it a shot today. The only thing not
working are the buttons and I may have misunderstood one of your
instructions due to a lack of knowledge.
When you say, "Make /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh executable:
Code:
--------------------
chmod +x /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh
--------------------
" isn't that the same file name as the instruction immediately previous
to it? Or am I not naming it right? How do I make it an executable other
than adding .exe at the end?
Thanks,
Howard
