Running SOSLogger in Ubuntu

Just a quick note on this one.

* Install Java.
* Download the cross-platform SOS package, unzip it somewhere. Just as a precaution, I usually remove spaces from folder names.
* Create a text file called launcher.sh in SOS' folder (update with your path):

[code lang="bash"]#!/bin/bash
cd ~/software/sos_max
java -jar SOS.jar[/code]

* Give it exec rights: chmod +x launcher.sh
* Right click on an empty space on your desktop, then pick up Create Launcher. Give it a name, an icon, browse for the path to the script you created in the step below and you are good to go. You can now launch it just by clicking on the icon on your desktop.
