[Resolved] Adding Terminal Apps to Openbox Menu

I've installed Kismet and Aircrack-NG to my Asus Eee and would like to add these apps to the Openbox right-click menu, but I am not seeing a way to add an application that requires opening a terminal.

Any ideas guys?

If you're using terminator, it'd be:

terminator -e finch

replacing finch with whatever app you're wanting to open

Use this for the command:

terminator --command=appgoeshere

Use this for the command:

terminator --command=appgoeshere

Or, if you need to include additional arguments, wrap the command in quotes:

terminator --command="program --argument"

While we're talkin' about it, is there a way to have it open in a new split window inside the already-open terminal window?  I've been searching, but haven't found an answer yet.

Re: [Resolved] Adding Terminal Apps to Openbox Menu

This doesn't work for me.

terminator --command="gcalcli --agenda"

I had the same problem with mocp,but fixed it, suggesting this way could work too:

terminator --command=gcalcli

Both don't it seems...

Any ideas?
