i must do dumb things, i can't get your script to be executed:

1. i copied the script in a file called skype.sh
2. i copied skype.sh to /usr/local/bin
3. made it executable (sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/skype.sh)
4. have the following permission on skype.sh: -rwxr-xr-x
5. sudo skype.sh gives me:

sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/bin/skype.sh: No such file or directory

what am i doing wrong? do i need an extension for tc to run the script?

[Juanito]

Do you have the Xlibs_support and fontconfig extensions loaded?

[Jason W]

Being a bash script you also need bash installed.

[alu]

i have bash, Xlibs_support and fontconfig installed (running mc 2.3) as well as other common extensions (pango, expat2, atk, glib1, glib2, etc.)

[jpeters]

are you using "./" ?    (eg, sudo ./skype.sh)

[alu]

yep, also did that (cd to /usr/local/bin where the skype.sh script is, then: sudo ./skype.sh) with same result; don't know what i am missing

[jpeters]

What happens if you copy script to your $HOME directory, "sudo chown tc:staff skype.sh" and run without sudo  eg "./skype.sh" while in $HOME.  Also, script will work with #!/bin/ash.  Make sure it copied/pasted correctly.  When I paste, often the first line doesn't make it, or there's a few characters missing.

[alu]

i have copied skype.sh to home and changed owner to tc:staff with no result; the first line in the script is:

!/bin/bash

i think it should work since bash has been installed

[jpeters]

i have copied skype.sh to home and changed owner to tc:staff with no result; the first line in the script is:

!/bin/bash

i think it should work since bash has been installed

should be "#!/bin/bash"    That would do it.   I have the same issue with pasting        

I added a download link..

This script adds "/usr/local/bin/skype" script  (so it runs from terminal)

necessary skype_support libs  (included in Xlibs_support).  

usr/local/lib/libXss.so
usr/local/lib/libXss.so.1
usr/local/lib/libXss.so.1.0.0
usr/local/lib/libXv.so
