Hi a, I believe read -n requires an argument. It was probably put there to prevent the script from closing after the commands complete. If you change that to just read (without the -n option) then it should not exit. This should leave the terminal window open that launches when you open the link so that you can see any output from the commands and hopefully get some useful error messages there.

Hi,I chose "followed link to original file", in my quest to solve the aBackup setup non performance issue, the "follow link ...." created a duplicate,which I image to be a symbolic link, i.e. without the arrow, then deleted that new link, see resulting screen shot.... I have concluded the icon should link to the bin file did find /home/a/bin/rsnapshot, and /home/a/bin/rsnapshot.diff but not the .sh append. Personal fuzzy Iogic tells me I had located earlier.The imagined resolution== link .sh executable via symbolic link to the icon? How would that be done? Thanks

Okay, If i go to the file system and the list of previously downloaded list is displayed, choose open, It opens a window where the opening icon is located when i double click on the icon another page opens for a fraction of the second, I assume that is the page which usually stays opened that page when clicked upon will launch the backup. that peripatetic page may be key.?
