 +<code> 
 +#!/bin/sh 
 +ondemand -e firefox.sce 
 +</code>
  
-Process: +This command loads and launches the SCE through a desktop file, found in /usr/local/share/applications/, or by directly issuing ''exec''. A pop-up message indicating //'Neither freedesktop file nor App executable exists.  Please invoke from terminal or menu'// when attempting to launch an OnDemand extension usually means the application does not have a desktop file and is meant to be executed from command line.

-Usage options from the 'sce-ondemand --help' command:+If creating SCEs from list files (see sce-import -l command) it may be easiest to name the list file, and subsequent created SCE name, after the main executable to ensure it launches properly from an OnDemand menu. 
 + 
 +The ''sce-ondemand'' command is a symlink evolved from ''ondemand'', simply running ''ondemand SCE'' is a shortcut to quickly add an existing SCE to OnDemand, example: 
 +<code> 
 +ondemand firefox 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +The easiest way to add an application to OnDemand is during the import process, review ''sce-import --help'' regarding ''sce-import -o'' (OnDemand). 
 + 
 +As OnDemand is in dCore's default application path, OnDemand applications are accessible with terminal tab auto-complete prior to loading. In most cases, issuing the application's executable command, via terminal or Window Manager menu, will auto-load and immediately execute the application.
