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
<SNIP>
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)
<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

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=====
