How to make scripts run in Guake terminal instead of normal terminal?

  • 772

I have installed Guake terminal and I find it amazing. I have many scripts added as .desktop files in launcher.

Now I want these scripts to run in the Guake terminal instead of opening in the normal Gnome terminal. How can I achieve this?

The .desktop file is such:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Application
  Terminal=true
  Icon=/path/to/icon/icon.svg
  Name=app-name
  Exec=/path/to/file/mount-unmount.sh
  Name=app-name
command-line

    Just edit your .desktop file as below,

    Exec=guake -e /path/to/script.sh

    By default this starts hidden window and runs there. If you want to start it as visible window use,

    Exec=guake -t -e /path/to/script.sh

    For default terminal it is gnome-terminal
