So this seems very round about...but I got the shortcut figured out.

I had to write an sh script. and put it in my home directory called it "startLimeWire"


--==CODE EXAMPLE==--

#!/bin/sh

cd /daman/LimeWire/ ; sh ./runLime.sh

--==END CODE EXAMPLE==--

I was manually typing in command to try and get lime to run and I tried.

daman@bugnix:~$ exec startLimeWire
sh: /home/daman/startLimeWire: Permission denied
sh: exec: /home/daman/startLimeWire: cannot execute: Success
daman@bugnix:~$

And then in the start menu script I ended up using this

--==CODE EXAMPLE==--

+ "%menu/www.xpm%LimeWire 4.8.1" Exec sh /home/daman/startLimeWire

--==END CODE EXAMPLE==--

and boom it worked....so I tried to eliminate the script and just use this in the startmenu script.

--==CODE EXAMPLE==--

+ "%menu/www.xpm%LimeWire 4.8.1" Exec sh /daman/runLime.sh

--==END CODE EXAMPLE==--

and it doesn't work....so I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that you have to be in the directory to run runLime.sh or it wont work. So I'll keep this script in my home directory, and if it ain't broke don't fix it....lol


edit: if anyone is confused by the paths listed in the examples, my home directory is /home/daman/ and I have a second directory for my second HD that mounted at /daman/
