Slight change to WD's shell script

Now that Brian’s been able to spend more time on the Linux version, I went ahead and re-installed Linux and WD on a spare computer. The first thing I always do is make a change to the shell script used to start WD. I don’t like having to open, and keep open a terminal to run WD so I make the following change:

Below the line that says “export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/wdisplay/deploy/” I add the following:
Weather=/home/richard/wdisplay/WeatherD

and then I replace the line that says ./WeatherD with $Weather

With these changes you can start WD by just double clicking on GoWeather.sh with your favorite file manager, or put it as a link on your desktop, and start WD WITHOUT having to open a terminal. (replace “richard” in the line above with YOUR home directory)

good idea… i ended up just writing a new little script

 #!/bin/bash  
cd /home/chris/wdisplay        
./GoWeather.sh

and then creating a link to that script on the desktop
