MAKE_SERVICES(1) GNUstep System Manual MAKE_SERVICES(1) NAME make_services - generate GNUstep services info SYNOPSIS make_services [--test filename ] [--verbose|--quiet] DESCRIPTION make_services builds a validated cache of service information for use by programs that want to access the GNUstep services facility. Addi- tionally, it builds a list of applications and service bundles found in the standard directories. This cache is usually stored in the file named .GNUstepServices in the user's GNUstep directory. Most commonly, make_services is called from within the GNUstep.sh or GNUstep.csh script to update the service information every time the GNUstep environmet is set up, i.e. in a login script. But of course it is possible to run make_services from the command line whenever you wish, for example after having installed a new application or service. The Services menu in an application's mainmenu is usually updated auto- matically. However, it may be necessary to close an open or torn off menu for the changes to appear. Also, the workspace manager may have to be closed and restarted for file association changes to take effect. OPTIONS --test filename check that property list filename contains a valid service in- formation. --quiet suppress warnings (not recommended but useful in login scripts). --verbose give verbose output. --help show small help screen. EXAMPLES Simply rebuild the cache of service information: make_services Check whether the file ServiceInfo.plist contains a valid service de- scription: make_services --test ServiceInfo.plist NOTES Giving both --quiet and --verbose on the command line will result in verbose output, ignoring the --quiet argument.
