Icon for Script File?

[mcman56]

I want to create an icon driven sleep command. I found the script needed but how do I make this a function driven by an icon?

It would also be nice to have a "time inactive" driven sleep function too.

This is in Precise Puppy 5.7.1 on an HP laptop 9010x

Hello,
I used acpitool.
Right click in /root and select "new" then "script" and name it.
Open the script and put:
acpitool -s
and save it. Then drop it onto the pinboard (Desktop).
Then right click and choose "set icon"
Adjust accordingly for a different program.

Thanks for the response but can you dumb down the instructions a little? I assumed I could see a \root folder in the ROX file manager but I don't. I also don't see a desktop folder. I did show the hidden folders.

Root's the "home" icon up top on ROX. Since you might still see your desktop, drag the icon on and you're set.

That worked. Thanks The confusing part was that nothing told me I was in root.

You mean you're directory location isn't shown atop the ROX title bar? For /root >> a "~" tilde.

[mcman56]

A screen capture is attached. The symbol is there but easily missed by me.

[Semme]

Easily missed till now. That's where you focus your attention from now on.

it took me a while to get clear:

that in puppy the '~' was short for '/root'

that '/root' on the desktop might be a house icon
labelled 'home' or 'file' , or a file icon labelled 'file'

that the single '/' represented the single directory
[or folder] which held the whole filesytem. it is also called
'root' because it is the root of the filesystem.

/root or ~ is the root of yr personal files

by the way, you wrote:

' I assumed I could see a > \root < folder in the ROX file manager '

in linux filesytems it's forward slash > /root <,

hope this helps. cheers, mm
