Launcher- How to???

[src2206]

Hi friends,

I frequently use two commands #ifup ppp0 and #ifdown ppp0 to connect and disconnect from the net. Is it possible to createlaunchers for these two commands so that I do not have to go to terminal, switch to root and type? If yes, then how can it be done?

Thank you

Hello:
In Gnome, you can add to your panel a custom application launcher if you wish.
Right Click and Add to Panel and follow along.
I suppose you could use alacarte to add to a menu as well, if you like.

hi,
I made two aliases in bash for that, like this:
$ alias eth+='sbin/,/ifup eth0' and
$ alias eth-='sbin/./ifdown eth0'

as user i can type eth+ or eth- in the terminal to start/stop internet without that I have to be root, so perhaps I made them as root, don't remember
you can connect these two commands without doubt to a launcher, or, way funnier, to a real graphical switch on your desktop (hint: gtk2-perl is easy for this).

Cheers, Paul.

Could you please explain this a little bit more?
Thank you.
