Hello All,
I've recently joined the Linux community and love it! I'm on a time crunch though and need one last thing before I launch my thinclients. I'm on Fedora 10 btw.

I made thinclients to boot to a windows terminal services session. I'm about ready to launch these machines but need to put an icon on the desktop in case my co-workers accidentally lose their connection, they will be able to just pull it back up.

I'm using the rdesktop -f -u "" <hostname> command at bootup, I just need an icon on the desktop in order to bring it back up since they don't know Linux.

I'm not extremely good at writing script yet as I'm still a rookie, any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

I got it! I wasn't asking the question correctly but through some more reading I found I needed to use bash instead of sh. So if anybody else is looking for something similar, it will look like this

#!/bin/bash
rdesktop -f -u "" <hostname> <--- using -u "" blanks out the username, for security purposes in our case....

then make it executable by running terminal and using
chmod u+x /home/user/desktop/filename <--- since mine is on the desktop where they can click it....

then in order to avoid user confusion, go to system>Preferences>Personal>File Management, then click on Behavior tab, go to Executable Text Files and click "Choose Run executable text files when they are opened"

done!
