[Solved] From User to system

[flesh-drive]

How can I see what command has been written when I click on a program and How can I see directly what command was sent from me to linux mint OS system .

Hello, flesh-drive.

There is e.g. gnome-system-monitor (Cinnamon desktop), mate-system-monitor (Mate desktop), xfce4-taskmanager (xfce desktop).
They all offer a Process View. Inside this process view you can inspect the commandlines, which are being executed.

HTH,

Great question. In addition to gnome-system-monitor "lxtask" is simple, lightweight; sort the processes by PID and your recent commands/menu-choices will be at the top.

Similar also in a terminal:

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep username

Also

Code: Select all

grep "Part of Menu Prompt" /usr/share/applications/*.desktop | grep Name

then look for "Exec" in those files:

Code: Select all

$ grep erminal *.desktop | grep Name
exo-terminal-emulator.desktop:Name=Terminal Emulator
gksu.desktop:Name=gksu x-terminal-emulator
..snip some names...
xfce4-terminal.desktop:GenericName=xfce4-terminal
$
$ grep Exec xfce4-terminal.desktop
Exec=xfce4-terminal
$ grep Exec gksu.desktop
Exec=gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator

Exec=the stuff you'd type in the terminal to run the program.
