[nmglug] aBackup, a Sunday puzzle.

[a]

Hi













Hi

Hi

Hi,I chose "followed link to original file", in my quest to solve the 
aBackup setup non performance issue, the "follow link ...." created a 
duplicate,which I image to be a symbolic link, i.e. without the arrow, 
then deleted that new link, see resulting screen shot.... I have 
concluded the icon should link to the bin file did find  
/home/a/bin/rsnapshot, and /home/a/bin/rsnapshot.diff but not the .sh 
append. Personal fuzzy Iogic tells me I had located earlier.The imagined 
resolution== link .sh executable via symbolic link to the icon? How 
would that be done? Thanks
