13.04command linescripts
I just upgraded to 13.04. Before this when I click on a shell script file it'll give an option to run via terminal but now the option is no longer available and when I click the file it'll directly open via gedit.
How to run it via terminal and if possible, make it like that on default?
It also closes automatically once it has run your command.
Add /bin/bash at the end of your script to keep the terminal open.
You can also add a && sleep 10 to keep the terminal open 10 seconds and see what's going on.
Alternatively, add another line containing read at the end of the script to keep the terminal open until you press Enter.
In order to run a text file as executable from nautilus two things need to be set. Sounds like you have done the first already.
The second is that the file needs to be marked as executable.
To do this from nautilus right click on the file select "properties"
then on the "Permissions" tab select "Allow executing file as program".
Or from the command line
chmod +x file
replacing file with the file name.

Open the file explorer
Files. Press Alt+F10 and selectPreferences. You should see something like this.In the
Behaviortab, selectAsk each timeand close it. Now double on a shell script will ask you what to do each time. If you want to straight away execute the script, select the first optionRun executable text files when they are opened.
