desired features:

  • FIXED: only expire sudo, if "sudo" exists (do "which sudo")
  • ability to run .desktop files
  • describe command line parameters
  • use +x
  • check if file exists; check if "file" is really a file (not a folder)
  • check if the permission to run file was added
  • check if file already has permission to be executed
  • recommend: jar wrapper

FIX: xmessage: \n

Changelog:

0.4

  • App Runner now automatically expires the root session before running any program (more secure)
  • New option: "Run GUI App as root" -- because running GUI apps with "sudo" can cause problems (but only on rare cases)
  • The terminal window now has a title: "App Runner" (both in gnome-terminal and xterm)
  • App Runner now gives a warning message when no arguments are provided (instead of just failing)
  • Automatically uses xmessage if zenity is not detected

0.2

  • Dropped “beta” status
  • New installer easier to use: everything is now inside the .deb file
  • Automatically checks if gnome-terminal is installed, and uses xterm if gnome-terminal is not detected
