Gathering Available Applications

The next step after setting up the desktop search paths is to gather available applications using dtappgather. To alter the command-line options of dtappgather, modify the dtstart_appgather variable. To change the dtstart_appgather variable for all users, create an executable sh or ksh script (for example /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/myvars), and set dtstart_appgather as follows:

dtstart_appgather="/usr/dt/bin/dtappgather &"

Users can similarly change the dtappgather options for only their own sessions by setting dtstart_appgather in HomeDirectory/.dtprofile.

For more information about dtappgather options, see the dtappgather(4) man page.
