You do not need to open a konsole at all if you don't want to.

Just use the shell script format of

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cp <the rest of the command>

Now save it as copy.sh or whatever name you want, make it executable with

Code:

chmod +x copy.sh

and then make a launcher to it on the desktop, which I am not sure how you do in KDE (I assume KDE as you said you use konsole)

Script from Icon

I have a script to backup files to a usb drive, I would like to run it from an icon on the desktop, rather than opening a konsole and prodding a keyboard.
Putting konsole at the start of the scrip only opens a konsole ( expected ), is there a way to open a konsole and then run the script ?
ps I am total dunce at writing scripts.
Any help most welcome Dave P..
