Hello,
At the risk of embarrassing myself here. But I have no idea.
No file timestamp.txt appears.
What do I have to do to make the following work in the starter?
Code: Select all
date >>/home/galmei/Desktop/timestamp.txt

I'm not sure what you mean "in the starter". When the PC boots, when you log into xfce perhaps, when you open a terminal, starting an app from the menu, or creating an application starter that will do just that?

Hello gapan,
Sorry about the language inaccuracy.
I mean an XFCE desktop starter that is located on the desktop area.

OK, so create a script with that command:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
date >>/home/galmei/Desktop/timestamp.txt
put it somewhere, anywhere, make it executable:
right click on the desktop to make a new launcher, point it to your script and you're done.
