First off, apologies if this is not the right place for this specific question, but new to both the site and the OS in question.
-System Details- OS: Xubuntu 14.04 (xfce)
Question: I have manually added a new program to my Applications List, by creating a new file with the following script:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_AU]=/home/username/programdir/programexe.gif
Icon=/home/username/programdir/programexe.gif
Exec=/home/username/programdir/programexe
Name[en_AU]=ProgramName
Comment[en_AU]=Program Name
Name=ProgramName
Comment=Program Name
This file is than placed in /usr/share/applications
This program requires SUDO access to launch correctly, which I was able to accomplish by editing the following lines:
Terminal=true
Exec=sudo /home/username/programdir/programexe
This causes a Terminal window to open where I can enter the SUDO pass, and allow the program to launch fully.
Issue: Once the Terminal window opens, it remains open and will only close when the program is shutdown.
I have tried setting the line "Terminal:true" to "Terminal:false", but this effectively stops the program as the Terminal window will not launch during startup for the SUDO pass entry.
Is there a way for me to get the Terminal window to close once the pass has been entered, so that it is not constantly present?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards, TH
