First off I see that when I entered the command in the desktop icon, I forgot to use ./ before the name of the shell script. Example: before: /home/mike/programs/jbidwatcher.sh after: /home/mike/programs/./jbidwatcher.sh Now I fixed that, so when I click the icon at least something tries to happen, then I get this error: Konsole Session "Shell" exited with status 127.
