The reason for the weirdness according to how you start it is that when you run it from a terminal you are already in your server folder, so it can find the server.

When you just run it from the "file browser" (nautilus?) you are running from your ~/.desktop, so it can't find the server or the other scripts.

On my machine, I always run them like this:

Code:
ssh paranoia xterm -e ./starteqemu
and

Code:
ssh paranoia xterm -e ./stopeqemu
where paranoia is my server, and the script starteqemu is in my home directory on paranoia and contains

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd eqemu/server
./start
read $fish
stopeqemu is similar

The read command waits for a carriage return, so I see error messages if something goes awry during start-up.

I've never tried to run the server by clicking on things.

The other error you found is due to a cut-and-paste error on my part. I've inadvertently double-middle-clicked, and there are two copies of the script end-to-end.

If someone with admin privileges could remove the second copy that would be great, or even if they blow away the script I'll post a SINGLE copy of it into this thread.

This stuff-up actually shows my age, as I'm still not really comfortable with graphical user interfaces. I don't think they are any more user friendly than TOPS-20 was. At least I managed to get over teletypes and IBM card readers, so I'm not a total dinosaur.
