The sce-load command is used to load SCE(s) into RAM for use. Note, extensions listed in /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst will already be loaded at boot time. Most dCore Window Managers have an integrated 'OnDemand' menu, which allows easy manual loading of SCEs placed in ondemand (see sce-ondemand –help).

Process:

• Check SCE integrity by comparing it's md5sum to the '*.sce.md5.txt' file, unless the 'nomd5' bootcode was used.
• Recursively gather the full list of dependencies from the '*.sce.dep' files.
• Create a '/tmp/tcloop/<EXTENSION>/' directory and loop-mount it's SquashFS file.
• Copy files under '/opt/', '/usr/', '/bin/', '/sbin/', '/lib/', '/dev/', '/etc/', '/var/' as symbolic links into the root file system.
• Check for kernel modules in the SquashFS-file and if present call depmod -a and udevadm trigger.
• Call ldconfig.
• Check for start-up scripts and execute them; add package name to '/tmp/.installed'.
• If a graphic desktop is configured up-date the menu and icon set as specified in the SCE's '.desktop' file.
• Add the installed package to '/tmp/.debinstalled', provided it's md5sum is given.
• Call restart for the desktop, if available, and re-start wbar if loaded.
• SCEs that were imported through a list file (see sce-import –help) are loaded in the order specified in the list.

Usage options from the 'sce-load –help' command:

sce-load - Load SCE(s) and any SCE(s) that it depends on into RAM for use,
           SCEs typically located in /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/.
Usage:
sce-load             Menu prompt, select SCE to load.
sce-load SCE         Directly load the named SCE.
sce-load SCE1 SCE2   Directly load multiple SCEs.
sce-load -b SCE      Internal use only, to load SCEs at boot time.
sce-load -d SCE      Write any debug information to var/log/sce.log.
sce-load -s SCE      Suppress loading outputs like ' *.sce: OK '.
