launching apps from the menu



Hi
The launcher in the menu points to this script:-

#############################################################################
#! /bin/bash
#
#  Shell script to start the WSJT SDR
#                   application                           # 
#
#
#############################################################################
###########################################################################
# Make sure jack is not already running
    TMP=`ps -ef | grep jackd | grep -v grep | wc -l`
     if [ ! $TMP == 0 ]; then
     echo "jackd is already running. Stopping Jack daemon..."
       killall jackd
    fi

sleep 1
cd /home/richard/SDR/wsjt-rev2454/
python wsjt.py


>From the CLI it works fine from any location and fails to run when
started from the menu.

file permissions are :-
-rwxrwxrwx 1 richard richard 779 Oct  

so anyone and their dog can run it, what have I missed ?, I done it many
time on other distros.
