okay bestie, so this one lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin-y one 🫢), and it's part of Debian Pure Blends. Let's get into it ✨


✨ NAME ✨

blend-update-menus β€” adds the menu of a meta package to all the Debian Pure Blend users πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

blend-update-menus [ --blend|-b  < Blend >  | --user|-u < user > ]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

ngl, blend-update-menus is a whole different girl depending on who's running her πŸ‘‘

If it's called by a user β€” she adds and keeps updated the menu entries for the user who runs it. Just that user. Very main character, very solo. πŸ™ˆ

If it's called by root β€” she adds and keeps updated the users' menu entries (peep the menu package for users' menus, iykyk) for all the users who belong to the group of the specified Debian Pure Blend, or only for a specified user β€” it all depends on which parameter you pass to the script. Group-wide or one special someone, root gets to choose πŸ’œ


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

  • Blend (as --blend, -b) β€” one of the installed Blends, the ones listed in /etc/blends/, for example (if installed): edu, gis, junior, med or science πŸŽ€
  • user (as --user, -u) β€” a user present on the system and belonging to a Blend 🌸
