I am trying to create a launcher on the desktop that will execute an rsync command when I double-click it. I created the launcher and filled it out with the following entries:
Description: Backup Home Directory
Command: rsync -avr ...
Working Directory: /home/steele
Comment: Backup Home Directory
Options: Use startup notification: checked
Run in terminal: checked
I expected it to open a terminal session, then execute the rsync command in that session.
When I double-click the launcher, nothing happens (I checked the target of the rsync and a file was not there that should have been copied). I created another one with "echo Hello" as the command and couldn't see anything happening with that either.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
