Limewire... starting up and adding a button.

I've had a good look around on these forums but can't seem to find an answer... I've just installed Limewire, it worked lovely but once I closed it I can't find it again and can't find a command line that works so that I can start through terminal or add a shortcut on my menu... any help would be greatly appreciated.

How did you install it?
I downloaded the .zip file from "Other Systems (OS/2, Solaris, Linux)" and unzipped it...
$ cd Downloads
$ unzip LimeWireOther.zip
you can then run it with the runLime.sh script...
$ cd LimeWire
$ ./runLime.sh

 

Errrr... idiot terms please! I found the runLime.sh file and found that it loads it but what would I need to put as the command line for my button in the menu?

 

Personally I would not bother adding an icon, as it's a right pain...

But, if you want to click on something to start it you could either just navigate to the runLime.sh script
or if that's a long way, put a link in "My Documents"
e.g.
Open a terminal and go to the directory with runLime.sh, and type
$ pwd
This will tell you the full path name of your current directory
Make a copy of the runLime.sh script and edit it with mousepad
$ cp runLime.sh runLime.sh.bak
$ mousepad runLime.sh
Near the start you'll see the line
cd "`dirname "$0"`"
Change this to cd whatever the full pathname was from pwd, e.g.
cd /home/user/Downloads/LimeWire
Save and exit mousepad, then make a link to the runLime.sh script in your Documents folder, e.g.
ln runLime.sh ~/Documents/
Now, from the desktop you can click on "My Documents" and then in that folder click on the runLine.sh link to run it.

 

Righty oh... I'll give that a bash! Speaking of bash... my terminal window says that at the moment, any ideas what I've done?

 

Once again you are a genius... thanks so much!
