program executions thru prompt


just a fast question.

Uninstalled wine (cause program didn't ran on it yey :/) and I still get the list of programs I can run when i type wine [tab] so basically, where is this "database" of programs stored?

thanks.

<tab> in bash fills in the blanks for you kinda,

if you double push <tab> on a blank prompt, it will give you a list of program you can run in on your system, if you type something then hit <tab> 2x you'll get a list of files/programs in the directory your currently in

so be sure that list it gives you is not the contents of /bin /sbin and any other directory that bash reconizes as a program holding pin

What "database" of programs are you referring to?

Anything you run /installed by wine will be within the fake C directory in your home directory... something like ~/.wine/C/Program Files/

So you'd either CD to that dir and run what you need, or you'd type wine path/to/foo.exe
(assuming your Wine config works...)

I just used wine as an example heh.

I'm talking about in general, when u type the filename of a program and that it still "exists" according to bash even though you uninstalled that program, isn't there a way to remove it completely? Typing wine [tab]x2 will bring up all the available program sto launch right? (winelauncher, winecfg, wine, etc.) but let's say I uninstalled it and that typing that very same thing will still show me the "available" programs... Then that list of program is obviously stored somewhere and was left unmodified.

they could be links in /usr/bin or some other bin directory.
