Make terminal script which runs a terminal command

I am on a mac and want to make a batch script which runs a terminal commmand on double click.

I have found several of tutorials but all of them shows how to echo something?

What I want is to run this when I double click the script:

My-MacBook-Pro:platform-tools myname$ ./adb logcat -s Unity

I have saved this into a file called: mytest.command

When doubleclicking this I get this:

Last login: Wed Dec 17 09:26:04 on ttys001 My-MacBook-Pro:~ myname$ /Users/myname/Documents/mytest.command ; exit; /Users/myname/Documents/mytest.command: line 1: My-MacBook-Pro:platform-tools: command not found logout

How can I accomplish this?

Any help is appreciated

First, you need to know where you have installed adb. If you know it is in /usr/local/bin for example, then that is fine. However, if you don't know where it is installed, type

which adb

or

whereis adb

and it will tell you. Now, remove the word adb from the answer you get, so you just have the path to the directory (folder) where adb lives. Now you have the path, you can write your script:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:XXXXXXXX
adb logcat -s Unity

where XXXXXXX is the path to the folder where adb lives.
