Hi is there a command that I can give to list all of the programs installed on my machine and what command I need to use to start them. For example I installed kcmpurefptd and I can't find the command to start it. Thank You

rpm -q --filesbypkg myrpm.rpm this will list all files, installed by that package (rpm). So look for files, placed in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, etc. But, as I see, this specific program (kcmpurefptd) is not installed from rpm, and is just a module for the KDE's Control Center, so most probably there should be a PureFTPd menu item somewhere in the Control Center.

If i can understand your question correctly; find / -type f -perm +111 | less Find all files from top level and down, of the type "file" and list all with the permisionmask 111 (That is all with the excecute bit set) This will list ALL files with excecute permission.and pipe it to less as there might be a few. (Some or all libraries will be listed too) There is probably more elegant ways to do this, but it might be a start. -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------

<SNIP> Replace 'nameofpackage' below to the name of the package you installed or your best guess or part of the name (like 'ftp'). Note that those are back tics not single quotes in the command. rpm -ql `rpm -qa | grep -i nameofpackage` | grep bin This will work for RPM packages that have been installed that have an executable in a bin directory. I doubt someone who feels comfortable compiling their own programs would have asked the original question. If I'm wrong and they did compile from source, you might want to throw a 'grep' in the above command to cut down the results some. find / -type f -perm +111 | grep -i ftp | less Louis

The package name minus the .rpm, e.g "rpm -q --filesbypkg apache2|grep bin". Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====

You can exclude object and shared object files with this elaboration: find / \ -type f \ -perm +111 \ ! -name '*.so' ! -name '*.o' \ ! -name '*.so.*' ! -name '*.o.*' \ |less Nonetheless, you'll probably get some questionable hits. Running this on my /usr/lib directory alone produces 1977 hits.
There is probably more elegant ways to do this, but it might be a start.
