How to figure out the triggered command when clicking an icon in Ubuntu
In Ubuntu, an application can be started by selecting its icon from the application list (triggered by clicking to the icon at the lower-left corner or pressing the window key).
This list of icons is stored in /usr/share/applications
(for all users) and ~/.local/share/applications
(for a specific user). The icon is defined in .desktop
file.
Icon/application's starting command can be easily figured out by looking at the associated .desktop
file's content at the TryExec
entry.
