To get the script to run in terminal, I have to select the option to open in terminal and write sh script name.shIs there a way I can reduce that to a single step, i.e. a launcher that automatically opens the script in a terminal after logging as a root ? I've tried to look it up on Google, but I haven't found any useful advice (perhaps I'm not executing the search properly).

you mean running the script as start up script. – Rahul Mar 29 '14 at 21:02

I think what you mean is running your script as start up script. In that case place the script you want to run in the /etc/init.d directory and make the script executable with command chmod 755 scriptname.sh.

EDIT:
if you want to run your script after your login is successful then you need to place your script in ~/.bash_profile. See this related post

I mean include your script path there (OR) call your script from `bash_profile` – Rahul Mar 29 '14 at 21:22

`bash_profile` itself is a script. So you just need to call your script from there like `/bin/bash /path/scriptname.sh`. – Rahul Mar 29 '14 at 21:32

@user3476633, if this answer helped you then try accepting it as answer. – Rahul Mar 30 '14 at 17:10

I know you did your best but nothing happened when editing the bash profile ... I edit it by "nano ~/.bash_profile and nothing happen – user3476633 Mar 30 '14 at 18:29
