If you create a trigger for each application in Novell OpenOffice, you can use the trigger as a command line option in ZENworks Desktop Management or ZENworks Configuration Management to launch the desired application from an application object. For example, if you specify writer for the trigger for OpenOffice Writer, you could use writer as the command line option to open Writer when the user opens the executable. 11g (Conditional) Click the Auto Start check box next to any startup files that you want to always automatically launch on virtual application startup. The Auto Start flag can be specified for multiple startup files to automatically launch multiple applications that are typically used together in a single session (also known as shotgunning). 11h Click OK. 12 Click Build in the Build section of the Virtual Application ribbon to process the application. 13 Specify the location and filename of the virtual application executable file. 14 Test the virtual application executable file on another machine.
