I want to that when I click on these icons, what are the commands that run in the Background???

Which files are getting executed and where are these located???

Thank You!! :)

Look at the files in /home/tc/.wmx, eg:
Code: [Select]
$ cat /home/tc/.wmx/Appbrowser
#!/bin/sh
exec appbrowser

Thanks for the reply..  :) :)

I already got these files, but I want to know from where does "appbrowser" gets executed in the following code :
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
exec appbrowser

Even if we type appbrowser at the Terminal, it gets executed. So from where is this command located  ??? ??? ???

If you enter:
Code: [Select]
$ echo $PATH..this will show you where tc looks for applications to execute if the full path to the application is not specified.

If you enter
Code: [Select]
$ which appbrowser..this will show you the full path of the first instance of "appbrowser" found in $PATH

@Juanito :
Thank you a lot for your reply.. The code that you gave worked well..
Code: [Select]
echo $PATH

I got the path from where commands like exittc, appbrowser, etc gets executed..
The path is following -->
/usr/bin

I changed their content and kept my script and hurray!! they are working...

So Thanks a lot... :D :D :D ;D
