[Opgelost] Script for rdesktop

[Rosie]

Hello

Who knows how to make a script in order to automate the rdp connection i make in the Terminal = rdesktop 192.168.0.115 -f for example (kind of batch I can write and then click on..?)

With thanks R

You can either create a launcher for this in the main menu, or indeed a script. For launcher go to Control Center -> Main Menu, select a category where you want this command, click New Item and set command to your rdesktop line. Also give it a name, and you are done. (You can click the default icon to change it to something else.)

You could also create a small shell script. Create a text file, for example called Connect.sh, and put the following text in it:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
rdesktop 192.168.0.115 -f

Either run "chmod +x Connect.sh", or mark the file as executable through the file browser. You can now double-click this file to run your script.

Are these always going to be the for the same?
1.) IP
2.) username
3.) password

for this script?
because if they are then:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
rdesktop ipp.addr.ess -u <username> -p <password> -f


else if you connect to more than 1 machine with more than 1 username with more than 1 password:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo -n "IP...? "
read ANSWER1
for periods in "$@"
  do
   sed -e 's/\./\./' "$ANSWER1"
  done
   
echo -n "user...? "
read ANSWER2

echo -n "pass... "
read ANSWER3

rdesktop "$ANSWER1" -u "$ANSWER2" -p "$ANSWER3" -f
ANSWER3=" "

Many thanks for your reactions but....

I copied and paste the script for several ip 's and users and saved the file as connect.sh.

So far so good, but how do i get this script working, if i click on the file de text editor opens with the script.

If i rightclick on the file i cannot make an excutable from it.

So how do i carry on right now ?

Thank you again

If i rightclick on the file i cannot make an excutable from it.

Right-click -> Properties -> Permissions tab -> check "Allow executing file as a program". Sorry, assumed you would know this or run the command I gave otherwise

Beste Vincent,

Ik neem aan dat je ook nederlands leest gezien je naam.
Nogmaals met dank, werkt perfect.
Ik ben maar net begonnen met Linux, dus nog behoorlijk onwetend over allerlei zaken.
Lijkt soms of ik weer teug ben in de goede oude DOS dagen.

Echter zeer gecharmeerd van dit prachtige Mint OS

En een onverwoestbaar help forum uiteraard...

Groet
