linking to an executable with options

Question

I want to have a link to an executable as follows, the equivalent terminal command is:

Mathematica -mesa

The command ln -s Mathematica -mesa Mathematica does not work, how can I include -mesa in the link?

Thanks, Woody

Answer 1

You can create a bash script:

#!/bin/bash

Mathematica -mesa

Don't forget to make the script executable and store it in the $PATH.
