I have a few launchers in Unity that I might want to run as sudo once or twice, but I have no idea what to type into the terminal.
At the moment, crazily, I have to run the app, then search for likely candidates in System Monitor! I don't think the Unity Design team intend, ever, to give us a right-click action on the Dash, or a "Details" option if I right-click on a Launcher, so... how do I figure out what's actually being executed when I run a Launcher?
(for the curious, what I'm struggling with is Desura - it's not in the system path, so I can't just whereis desura
, assuming desura
is what's actually being run - I'd be guessing)
[EDIT : using the method I marked as the answer, I can see that Desura installs in my home directory and as it's a non-root install, it doesn't update the system path.]
