Off late I had to access a windows machine through a linux machine. Set up a tunnel using putty thanks to the following link:

In terminal type dconf-editor

Go to org > gnome > gnome-screenshot

Set the auto-save-directory

Reference:

&& 

lets you do something based on whether the previous command completed successfully

||

which is the logical or 

;

which is just a separator which doesn't care what happend to the command before

$ false || echo "Oops, fail" Oops fail

$ true || echo "Will not be printed" $  

$ true && echo "Things went well" Things went well

$ false ; echo "This will always run" This will always run

I have been trying lots of solutions to create shortcuts to run a bash file. Finally this one worked. Usually when you double-click run the file, it usually asks you what you want to do. Finally the solution worked.

So I am planning to show some notifications when scripts complete. In order to get some notifications, we need to install libnotify-bin.

apt-get install libnotify-bin

And to show notifications:

notify-send 'Title of the message' 'Text of the message'

There is a bunch of icons which you can use located in the below path when using the -i command.

/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32
