    Arrrrgggg....my script won't run from the desktop!

    This is probably one of those newbie problems that will seem ridiculous once I start to understand what's going on. I want to run the following script from the KDE desktop (I've installed knoppix on my HD). I simply want to click on it and have it run:

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
    wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=hot authtype=opensystem
    wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=fa:fb:fc:fd:fe
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
    sudo pump -i wlan0
    echo done!
    I've saved it to my desktop as hotNetwork.sh, and I've changed the permissions to be executable. When I click on it, nothing happens, and it doesn't run the commands in the script. Help?

    p.s. I also tried assigning it to open up with "sh" or "bash" via the little wrench tool in the properties box, but that doesn't help.

    Ah. Paths. It's all about paths, isn't it? I put in the correct paths (why can't bash figure them out??) as so, linked everything correctly to a shortcut, and it's fine now:


    Code:
    #!/bin/sh 
    /sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable 
    /sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=hot authtype=opensystem 
    /sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=fa:fb:fc:fd:fe 
    sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up 
    sudo /sbin/pump -i wlan0 
    echo done!
    Grr.
