GNOME(1)GNOME(1)NAMEgnome-exe-handler - GNOME executable Mime type Handler.
SYNOPSISgnome-exe-handler file1 file2...
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-exe-handler program is invoked by applications
that try to launch executables in Unix but do not have the
execution permission bit set. The are classified as ELF
or A.OUT executables by the MIME system.
gnome-exe-handler Would let the user double click on an
application and if the user confirms the action, change
the permissions automatically for him and then launch the
application. This is particulary useful when downloading
software from the network, as Unix will not transfer the
execution permissions. This simplifies the number of
steps that a novice user has to take to run software from
the net.
