Automating Kali Updates With a Desktop Icon

OK I am getting ready for my shift at 8:30am but my Bash updater script has been on my mind, gotta make it slicker and easier for newbs. Let's create a desktop shortcut for Windows converts and make the updater script even easier to run with less steps.


First let's create a new file on the Desktop


$ cd Desktop


$ touch UpdateKali.desktop




Now lets open the newly created desktop file and edit it:

$ nano UpdateKali.desktop




Ctrl and X to close and save nano


Now let's change the files persmissions so we can execute it:

$ chmod +x ~/Desktop/UpdateKali.desktop




Here is your lovely new desktop updater app:



Let's double click it and see what happens!


SHEBANG #! It works :)
