 |
|
Hello there 
I am right now executing and while at it I remembered a doubt I had... here goes...
I use enlightenment a LOT  I LOVE IT But I installed Firefox and anjuta and aMSN and they don't appear in the menus, when you click whichever mouse button... I mean, I have to open a console and run the program there... if I close the console... KAPUT!!! 
So, my questions are:
1. How to put them in the menus, or
2. How do I run them from the console, but keep running then if I close the console (if possible at all);
Thanks a lot

Hi there,
First answer:
Middle-click on the background
-Maintenance
--Regenerate menus
First answer bis:
edit ~/.enlightenment/user_apps.menu to add whatever you need
Second answer:
As the program you run is a "child" of the console, terminating the console will terminate it too.
By using "program &" instead of "program" as a command line, you will get the console available for the next task at hand. Though this will not clear the original problem.

Try emerging e16menuedit. Then run it from a console:
| Code: |
emerge e16menuedit
e16menuedit
|
Then you can add and remove and edit any aspect of the menu. Which is nice.

Sometimes you don't use a program often enough to warrant adding it to the menu, so you run it from a console. To run the program and get the console back before exiting the program try:
The problem with this, is that the program is still attached to the console, and if you close the console (hang up) then the program is killed. To get around this, try:
| Code: |
nohup /path/to/program &
|
nohup tells Linux not to kill the program when the console is closed.
Lastly, nohup leaves a file called nohup.out wherever you ran the program from, that logs errors and things. If you don't need this, then try:
| Code: |
nohup /path/to/program &>/dev/null &
|
Which is the command line I use when I want to run a program outside of the console. The >/dev/null makes any output from nohup, in this case nohup.out be sent to /dev/null, which effectively destroys it.
Enjoy. |
