I have this application that allows me to play music on my computer remotely using my phone. Unfortunately the only way i can start it is by sh GmoteServer. sh in it's folder to start it . I'm trying to add an entry to the Kmenu but the space for adding commands and path are greyed out. Just tying the application name in Konsole does not work nor in krunner. Any ideas. I'm using Lucid 10.04 alpha.

Re: Make an Application Launcher On the Kmenu
Maybe you should post this under Lucid. Then you might get some response

Re: Make an Application Launcher On the Kmenu
I'm using Lucid 10.04 alpha.
This is an alpha release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released on April 29, 2010.This is an alpha (pre-) release. Pre-release versions of Lucid are NOT encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or for anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent, breakage. Pre-release versions ARE recommended for Kubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.' Please do not use this in a production environment with data or workflows that you cannot do without
...the only way i can start it is by sh GmoteServer.sh...
The GmoteServer.sh is a script file ?
Is it an executable ?
File type check with the "file command":
man file
NAME
file — determine file type
SYNOPSIS
file [-bchikLnNprsvz] [--mime-type] [--mime-encoding] [-f namefile] [-F separator] [-m magicfiles]file
file -C [-m magicfile]
file [--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents version 5.03 of the file command.
file tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests, magic tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed.
...
1)
Code:file clip_wallpaper
clip_wallpaper: POSIX shell script text executable
Code:file net_speed
net_speed: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
Is it executable with the "ls"command:
man ls
NAME
ls - list directory contents
SYNOPSIS
ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
...
Code:ls -l clip_wallpaper
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rog rog 408 2010-01-21 16:11 clip_wallpaper
...Just tying the application name in Konsole does not work nor in krunner...
Linux determines the executable search path with the $PATH environment variable.
Here the Kubuntu is searching executables from the:
Code:echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
If the executable is along the path then you could use:
Code:command
Code:/path/to/the/command
