[SOLVED] Create a launcher with rm command

[artik]

Hi,

I have on my desktop a folder called temp, that i would like to clean with one click or using a keyboard shortcut. My command is really simple, and no needs root rights :

Code: Select all

rm /home/artik/desktop/temp/*

The problem is I tried 2 different ways. Creating a launcher (with and without "open in a terminal") with this command, and using the mint custom keyboard shortcuts. In both cases, it doesn't work. Could someone try to help me to do it ?

I have on my desktop a folder called temp, .....

Code: Select all

rm /home/artik/desktop/temp/*

Then point your command to that location:

Code: Select all

rm /home/artik/Desktop/temp/*

There is no such place as /home/artik/desktop.

I renamed my Desktop in desktop.
In a terminal, my command line is working, not with a launcher

Why on earth would you rename .... never mind.

Change your launcher command to this:

Code: Select all

bash -c 'rm /home/artik/desktop/temp/*'
