Re: starting a background proc from a desktop icon

 

I have found a trivial, combined solution: the *.desktop file is:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=unav-osm
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/nohup /home/phablet/unav.sh
Icon=/userdata/system-data/opt/click.ubuntu.com/navigator.costales/0.57/icon.png
Terminal=false
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true

and the shell script launches both, first the HTTP server, and after
this the uNav app:

#!/bin/sh 

# 1st start the local HTTP server:
cd /media/phablet/*/Maps
python3 -m http.server 8888 &

# now start uNav
cd /userdata/system-data/opt/click.ubuntu.com/navigator.costales/0.57/
qmlscene %u qml/Main.qml

works fine;
