Script to add applications to fvwm-crystal menu

Following script will add applications to fvwm-crystal menu

Screenshot of fvwm-crystal:


#!/bin/bash
APP_BASE=/usr/share/fvwm-crystal/fvwm/Applications
#APP_BASE=~/.fvwm/Applications/

if [[ $1 == '' ]]
then
echo "Usage:"
echo "$0 [icon name]"
exit 0
fi


if [[ ! -e $APP_BASE ]]
then
echo "Menu base does not exists!"
exit 0
#mkdir -p $APP_BASE
fi

MENUS=($( ls $APP_BASE ));
MENU=
APP=$1
APP_NAME=`basename $1`
ICON=$2
SCRIPT=

if [[ `which $APP` == '' && ! -e $APP ]]
then
echo "$APP does not exists!"
exit 0
fi

i=0
while true
do
[[ ${MENUS[$i]} == '' ]] && break;
echo "$i. ${MENUS[$i]}"
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

OPT=''
echo "Enter Menu number to insert item:"
read OPT
if [[ $OPT -lt $i && $OPT -ge 0 ]]
then
MENU=${MENUS[$OPT]}
else
echo "wrong"
fi

if [[ $2 == '' ]]
then
ICON=$APP_NAME
fi

SCRIPT="~$ICON~$APP_NAME"


ANS=""
echo "Menu item: $APP_BASE/$MENU/$SCRIPT"
echo "Continue creating menu item? [y/n]: "
read ANS
if [[ $ANS == 'y' ]]
then
if [[ -e $SCRIPT ]]
then
echo "Script exists!";
else
echo "#!/bin/sh
exec $APP \$@
" > $APP_BASE/$MENU/$SCRIPT
chmod +x $APP_BASE/$MENU/$SCRIPT
fi
else
echo "Not creating menu item!"
fi



Save the script in /usr/bin/fvwm-crystal-menu-gen.sh and make it executable (chmod +x /usr/bin/fvwm-crystal-menu-gen.sh). Use following sytax to add applications to menus

/usr/bin/fvwm_crystal_menu_gen.sh [icon name]


If the application is in PATH you don't have to enter absolute path as just give application name. If you want to acompany an icon with a different name input it in place [icon name]
