[Solved] So I know how to .......

Peace9r · 2010-03-09 13:50:09

add a new program to the Openbox menu, but how does one add a start line that involves changing directories and including "mono" in the command line?

SportTracks is a fitness/training log .exe program that can run in linux using Mono (see mono-project).

I can easily through Terminator get the program up and running but I would like to create shortcut in Openbox

These are the steps in Terminator I would like to "shortcut"

tony@tony-laptop:~$ cd /home/tony/.sporttracks
tony@tony-laptop:~/.sporttracks$ mono SportTracks.exe

Can anyone help?

Would it be possible to create a small shell script, and then reference the shell script from your Openbox menu?

e.g. Create ~/bin/sporttracks.sh with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/tony/.sporttracks
mono SportTracks.exe
exit 0

?

Also have you tried "mono /home/tony/.sporttracks/SportTracks.exe"?
