I created a small command that might be of use. It is called "link" and creates scripts of this kind in the directory we're at in the terminal:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#If the command is invoked without arguments, print help line and exit
[ ! $1 ] && echo "usage: link <url>" && exit

#Create a script with the name we've entered as argument
nu=$1
echo "#!/bin/bash" > $nu
#Change this line if you use a browser different from Seamonkey
echo -n "seamonkey -new-window " >> $nu 

#Grab the url from clipboard
a=`xclip -o`
echo $a >> $nu
#This line is to detour error messages -seamonkey produces a lot-
echo " 2> /dev/null" >> $nu

#Allow the execution of the new script
  chmod 755 $nu

Usage:

1) Copy the URL you want to the clipboard (typically for most browsers, ^l goes to go to the url bar, then press ^c to copy)
2) Open a terminal in the folder where you want to have the script that calls the web
3) type "link nameyouwanttogivethescript" (make sure that the link script is within $PATH, or point to it with an alias, so that you can invoke it from any directory)

There you have it, now you have a one click script to the web you want

I also tried to create a version for rox-filer, but couldn't figure it out.
