creating a script that works in kde

It seems that all of the script tutorials are based on running in the console 
mode.  When I create the following script, and run it from a kde command 
window, only the first ech line works.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Decrypt the encrypted partition"
echo
exec /bin/su
echo
exec /etc/init.d/boot.crypto start
# to unmount the drive: as root: /etc/init.d/boot.crypto stop
exit
exit

My next challenge is to execute the above from an icon.  The two exits are to 
close the console window.

any help or referral to a site would be helpful.
