To execute a script, I have to:

  1. Write the script
  2. Make it executable

  3. Double click it, which shows this window:

  4. Click the "Run" button.


How can I execute the script directly, without showing the dialog?

GUI

Depending on which Ubuntu version you have,

  • Before 13.04

    In Nautilus, go to this menu:

    Edit → Preferences

  • 13.04 and later

    In Nautilus, go to this menu:

    Files → Preferences

Then,

in the 'Behaviour' tab, enable "Run executable text files with they are opened"

Command line

If you prefer a command:

dconf write /org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/executable-text-activation "'launch'"

Note: Both GUI and command line methods work only for Nautilus (the default graphical file manager in Ubuntu)

  • @minerz029 This answer is only relative to nautilus(that is fine for 99% cases). Can we do the same with CLI. That would be more appropriate as it won't be file manager based.

    @adityapatil: All methods, both GUI and CLI, will be only for a specific file manager. I've added a command for completeness, however it only works for nautilus.
