In the interim, I reinstalled my system (Plasma 6.1.5 on Manjaro) and, this morning, updated to Plasma 6.2.4 (on X11). I then caused my system to crash again, as before, before looking closer at my 'Link to Application-, only to discover that I never specified that the script should run in the terminal (Konsole). Upon specifying that the script should run in the terminal, it worked as expected. Maybe it still qualifies as a bug since, if there's no direction that the script should run in the terminal, my system crashes. Many thanks, and kind regards.
