so im looking for a way i can add a shortcut to my home screen (desktop) and when clicked it will open terminal and run a command as im not good at remembering some of them.

Example: i sometimes run 'nmcli d wifi' that shows current wifis and signals. i was wondering if theres a way that i can just dobble click a shortcut on the desktop and it runs that for me ??

thanks aha, this could be simple but i personally dont know of it

[genu]

Code

#!/bin/bash
nmcli d wifi

Save this and run it using

Code

bash filename

You could also add an alias by editing (~/.bashrc), for example:

Code

alias wifi='nmcli d wifi'

and then just type "wifi" on the terminal.
