[K12OSN] Push Icon to desktop problem

[Kevin Squire]

Dear David,

If you are using the script as root, you should not have to do the chmod
line.  Also, I just thought you might like to change the
iconyouwishtoremove.desktop to $1, then you can run it from the command
line.  So the script would be:


!#/bin/bash
for x in `ls /home`; do
echo "Doing $x ..."
cd /home/${x}/Desktop
rm -f $1
done

Then from the command line do a:
foo iconyouwishtoremove.desktop

where foo is the name of the script above.   Someone even more clever
then me can reply with a way to change the $1 into a $ANY so that you
could do:

foo iconremove1.desktop iconremove2.desktop iconremoveN.desktop
