How to run a bash script menu from a file manager

[Ed_P]

With Flash gone I have created a script to play a couple of old flash games that I have on my harddrive to show my grandkids what computer games use to be. In terminal mode the script works but not when I dbl click on it in Nemo and select to Run In Terminal mode. Then it displays my menu and when I select a game it disappears. How do I get it to keep the terminal window open and execute the flash app?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

function Title() {
  echo -en "\033]0;$1\a";
}
Title "Grandpa's Flash Games"

g1=space_invaders
g2=pacman

echo
echo 1. $g1
echo
echo 2. $g2
echo
echo 3. $g3
echo
read -p "Select 1, 2 or 3: " Nbr

#Game="$"g$[Nbr].swf
#echo Game=$Game
#read

if [ $Nbr == 1 ]; then Game=$g1".swf"; fi
if [ $Nbr == 2 ]; then Game=$g2".swf"; fi
if [ $Nbr == 3 ]; then Game=$g3".swf"; fi

cd /mnt/sda6/Users/Ed/"My Webpages"/Games/
./flashplayer $Game > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#exit

hi Ed_P if you have thunar as file manager you can run a script via custom action,the script may be executable.

Found a fix.

Replaced the commented out exit line

Code: Select all

#exit

with

Code: Select all

echo & read

solves the problem.
