It depends on exactly what the app is looking for. In the simple case you can make a /usr/local/bin/foo script that contains: #! (cd /apps/build/dir; ./app) I'm guessing thats not what you want though. But if its just looking for libraries, you can do #! export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/apps/build/dir /apps/build/dir/app or put the LD_LIBRARY_PATHs in your .login script or equivalent if there are no conflicts. - Steve
