I think I know how to do a shell script. > Should I made a shell script for every program I wanna run? > I do, but then again I've been using Unices for getting on for two decades and Linux for the last ten years, so to me writing a shell script seems like an easy way to package a few commands. I use something like this: ==============================script file============================= #!/bin/bash # # Using the first line shown above and making the script executable # with 'chmod u+x script_file' means you can run it by typing # 'script_file'. I make a directory called bin in my login directory, # put the script there and add the line: # 'export PATH=~/bin:$PATH' as the last line in ~/.bash_profile so # the shell will look in ~/bin for the script. # # Set WINEPREFIX -I use a separate prefix for each app or set of # closely related apps: # export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_myapp # # Change to the directory where the app lives: # cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/MyApp\ folder # # put lines here to turn on debugging, etc or do app-specific stuff # # # Run the app # =========================end of script file=========================== Now you have a script you can run it from the command line or use it as the command run by a launcher - this is a lot easier than trying to put the WINEPREFIX setting, the cd and the wine command into the launcher's command line. Without all my explanatory comments a typical wrapper script is only three or four lines. Martin
