A snap using OroborOSX
Authored by: baba on Dec 11, '01 11:48:56AM

This is quite easy if you're using the window manager, OroborOSX. Provided with the manager is
a template for your own Launch Menu items. A snippet for a modified app, named 'addhosts.x11app' is below.
Add one line to the end of the StartupItems file in the Launch Menu Items folder:
'addhosts'
and the app will be called at startup. It will also be available in the menu.

-------------------------------------------
# NAME OF APPLICATION EXECUTABLE/COMMAND GOES HERE
set appname="xhost"

# ANY UNUSUAL PATH TO THE COMMAND SHOULD GO HERE (uncomment to use this)
set usepath="/usr/X11R6/bin"

# ARGUMENTS FOR THE COMMAND GO HERE (can be left blank)
set argums="blah.gork.edu fizzie.skel.gork.edu dlps4.skel.gork.edu kukicha.skel.gork.edu ferment.skel.gork.edu"

# OPTIONAL TITLE STRING GOES HERE (comment this if not needed)
# note that an ID number, sent from OroborOSX, will be added in
# brackets after this string [eg, below would give "xterm (3)"]
set titlenam="xterm"
