Subj: [S] How to startup replacements for XIsso and XSysAdmin

Answer from Randy Hayman:
To find what any of the CDE actions actually run look for the *.dt file
of the same name, or of the resource name.
For your particular need (providing $LANG=C)
haymanr_at_icefog> grep -i account /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/*.dt
dailyadmin_sm.dt:ACTION Dxaccounts
dailyadmin_sm.dt: LABEL Account Manager
dailyadmin_sm.dt: EXEC_STRING /usr/sbin/dop -n /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts
dailyadmin_sm.dt: DESCRIPTION This action invokes the account manager
application
meaning that /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts is the executable you need.
