For a package 'xyz-3.4-2b.i386.rpm' the binary is likely 'xyz' How to start it depends what it is. For example if it is a service, it may be set up to run with 'service xyz start' or if it is utility, it may reside in /usr/local/bin and just execute the binary/script: '/usr/local/bin/xyz' If you do not know where it is, you can do one of two things: a) as root run 'updatedb' (or wait a day) then as a reg user run 'locate xyz|grep bin' b) query the rpm data base: 'rpm -ql xyz' Once you find it, if you want, you can add an icon or whatever to the gui. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
