[SOLVED] Where are all crunchbang "cb-*" scripts?

Just noticed that I "cb-*" scripts got lost somehow in my crunchbang. I ran cb-welcome once and that's it. I've rewrote the default openbox rc.xml and lost an option to shutdown the pc. It was "cb-shutdown" as I remember from obmenu. Where did these scripts all go? I could not have deleted them, since I didn't know about their location in the first place. Now that I've found some of them in ~/.config/crunchbang/ they appear to be all empty.

~/.config/crunchbang$ ls
cb-bad-nautilus  cb-setup  cb-welcome
minerals@crunchbang:~/.config/crunchbang$ cat cb-welcome 
minerals@crunchbang:~/.config/crunchbang$ 

Need explanation.

Re: [SOLVED] Where are all crunchbang "cb-*" scripts?

A handy tool for this kind of thing is "locate" -- install the "mlocate" package, then update the database:

sudo apt-get install mlocate
sudo updatedb

Now whenever you want to find something, just type (for example):

locate cb-

You will need to run "sudo updatedb" once in a while, and especially after you update/dist-upgrade.

thanks, mlocate is a nice tool. However there are no cb-* scripts on my mahine and I have no idea how they have disappeared and why.
I have found them in the repo under the name "crunchbang-bin-scripts" and "cb-wmhacks". Guess they got deselected of smth.

The scripts may have been removed when you uninstalled something else recently. Sometimes removing one  Debian package has unexpected consequences for others.
