said dep: | Greets, everybody . . . | | I probably knew how to do this back in the second Bush administration, | but I'm confounded by it now. | | My hope is to add to my KMenu an application -- it's gui and runs on my | system -- that is started by a shell script. What I don't know is what | to put in the command field in KMenu's entry for the item. | | In case it matters, the script is /opt/dvda-author/dvda-author-gui.sh | and this is it: | | #!/bin/bash | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/dvda-author | cd /opt/dvda-author | /opt/dvda-author/dvda-author-gui | cd - | unset $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | | So. Anybody know what I ought to put in the DVD-Author command box in | KMenu? DVD-Author appears to be the only foss application for making | audio DVDs. | | Thanks in advance.

If I navigated to the shell script via the KMenuEdit browse button, it puts a single quote at each end of the fully qualified path to the script -- and it runs.

(And I think this has been incorporated sometime since the Bush administration -- I'd have remembered something like that.)

So never mind. -- dep
