NAME

       gRun - X/GTK based application launcher.

SYNOPSIS

       gRun [filename] [-v] [--version] [-h] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       gRun launches applications in X Windows without the need for an xterm session at all. gRun provides three
       methods of launching applications, entering the command directly into the text field, browsing  the  tree
       for  the  application  and  running an application specified on the command line. In all cases gRun exits
       completely after launching the application and the application is left running as a full child of  the  X
       process,  as  if  it  were launched from a WM menu. If gRun is launched from an xterm or shell, the shell
       will be freed for further use after gRun exits. No  more  wasting  an  xterm  for  the  duration  of  the
       application.

       gRun  will  attempt  to  complete  a  command automatically from the history as it is typed in, hopefully
       saving some time. Pressing the Tab key will try to find an executable file in the path that  starts  with
       the characters already entered into the entry box.

       gRun  also  includes a facility for checking if the command is in a list of console mode apps, eg telnet.
       If it finds the command in the file, gRun launches a xterm with the command as the -e parameter.

       gRun now has a facility for associating file extensions with a command, ala Windows. If an  extension  is
       found, the associated application is launched with the command entry as the parameter.

   Options
       filename
              Application  name  for  command line launching from a xterm. The filename must exist within either
              the default path or have a fully qualified path. Any options passed after the filename are  passed
              down to the application if not removed by gtk_init()

       --persist
              gRun dialog does not close after launching application

       --notips
              Tooltips are not displayed

       --version
              Display the current version number of grun.

       --help Display a short usage guide.

       gRun also recognizes all standard X Windows and GTK options, eg -display and -geometry.

Bugs

       None currently known.
