how to create desktop shortcut for any exe file for all users exsting in the system
hai
hoe to create desk to shortcuts for important executables for all users in the system like windows on right click and send shortcut to desktop option is available on rhel ws or any linux operating system |
probably a shell script to scan the executables and user accounts will solve the problem

I'll take for example gnome desktop ..because I don't use kde..
..not very familiar with gnome either a basic desktop shortcut looks like this: file name : ekiga.desktop file content: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Ekiga Softphone Name[en_CA]=Ekiga Softphone Name[en_GB]=Ekiga Softphone TryExec=ekiga GenericName=IP Telephony, VoIP and Video Conferencing GenericName[en_CA]=IP Telephony, VoIP and Video Conferencing GenericName[en_GB]=IP Telephony, VoIP and Video Conferencing Comment=Talk to people over the Internet Comment[el]=Μιλήστε σε ανθρώπους μέσω του διαδικτύου Comment[en_CA]=Talk to people over the Internet Comment[en_GB]=Talk to people over the Internet StartupNotify=true Exec=ekiga Icon=ekiga Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;Telephony; X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=ekiga X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.0.12 Name[en_US]=ekiga Creating links with ln doesn't look very pretty... So I guess your script has to have a list for all the programs you want to make shortcuts...create the associate files for each program ..lets say firefox.desktop mplayer.desktop on users desktop (/home/$USER/Desktop/) ..fill the files with the content like the one I specified for ekiga above(adapt for each program)... I think it might work....:P When finished...post the script here :d |
