An executable shell script for nautilus

A nautilus script is an executable shell script that is placed in a special scripts directory so that the Nautilus graphical shell can find it. This allows you to extend the functionality the the file browser to do just about anything.

Scripts are invoked by selecting a file or group of files, and right-clicking with the mouse, to bring up a context menu. One of the options in this menu is the 'Scripts' submenu, which allows you to select a script to invoke on the selected files.
