Just drag "it" there and it will create an alias to itself in the Dock

To "add" ./bitchx -a irc.dal.net to what applcation ?

It won't let me place it in the dock.. only on the far right side.. But i want it to be among the other applications..

"./bitchx -a irc.dal.net"

is a start up command to change the default server. so I want to start "bitchx" from the terminal like "./bitchx -a irc.dal.net" by just clicking one application that will sit in my dock?

simply way is to make a fast sh script, open nano (or any editor) and do enter;

exec ./BitchX server name

save file as say bx.sh, open a term, chmod +x bx.sh, then open it with terminal with open as. there's a way to always make that file open with the program, but i dont remember off hand how. onve you ahve it associated it will open with term and run the command, in this case, bx

ps: irssi > bx 😝
