Re: Nagstamon Problem

If you want to add it to a menu, you'd have to tell us what menu/WM/DE you are using.

but terminal is getting busy, when i close terminal nagstamon also getting close.

This is to be expected.  Redirect the output and use nohup or setsid to keep it open:

setsid nagstamon >/dev/null 2>&1

Re: Nagstamon Problem

DE = Desktop Environment, so in your case GNOME. WM = Window Manager. These abbreviations are common, so please try searching before stating you don't know.

In order to run the command from the menu, you need to have a desktop file for the command. But it seems that that is not provided in the package. You have 2 options now:

1. Use alt-F2 to run the command when you need it (I think this is still a thing in gnome?)

2. Add the command to the startup commands of GNOME to run it when you log in. For that, see the wiki
