Fast/Quick app request!
 
Developers: Can you create a very fast shell script runner? I have NO code skill or I'd do it myself.

Basically I want to create application menu items that will start up an xterm and run a console command without having to fire up xterm and hand-tap-tap-tap-tap it out manually.

I'd bet it's under an hour of code for a real programmer but it'd take me days.

You can do what I did: create a .desktop file in /etc/others-menu somewhere - the "Extras" menu is even modifiable without root access. Just copy one of the other entries and modify it to your heart's desire. I have menu items to enable/disable RS-MMC swap, to mount my LAN's shared NFS drive, and to turn on/off sshd.

gnuite: Reggie should hound you to write all this up!

In fact, stuff like this should be compiled (Roger!) into an ebook we can refer to on our 770s (Roger!).

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't osso-xterm accept the -c option to allow you to append a command?
