Small tip, how to recreate fluxbox menu

Submitted by ggarron on Tue, 11/18/2008 - 00:30.

Linux tips

If you like me use Fluxbox may be aware that when you install a new program it is not automatically added to the menu, yes you can always edit it manually and add the new program to fluxbox menu.

But you can also run:

fluxbox-generate_menu

Then from the old menu choose restart, and voila, you will have almost all your installed applications in the menu.

Helpful tip, and makes fluxbox that much more usable. However, you should note that this command overwrites the old menu file. So if you have any custom entries, be sure to back them up first.

Thank you very much! best
