Rebuild Application menu

OK, long story short, I need to do a rebuild. Unfortunately I dont see where to click and have it done. How would one do it via the CLI?

OS : Linux x64, Fedora 14
CXG: 10.1.0
RPM used for install, so path is /opt/cxgames/

Thanks for helping the town fool :P (yes it was a really brain damaged thing I did that caused this. But it beats a reinstall).

Andrew.

bash$ /opt/cxgames/cxmenu --help

Usage: cxmenu --sync [--bottle BOTTLE] [--mode MODE] [--verbose]
or cxmenu [--bottle BOTTLE] [--crossover] [--install] [--uninstall]
[--removeall [--pattern PATTERN]] [--mode MODE] [--help]
[--create MENU [create-options]|--filter FILTER]
[--start [--wait-children]] [--delete] [--purge]
[--verbose] [advanced-options]

Makes the Windows menus available to the native desktop environment and
provides a command-line interface for managing these menus.

Cheers!

OK. Unless there is an automated way to get this done, this is apparently going to need a reinstall then. I am not going thru nearly 75 bottles one by one to restore the entries, much less the missing CXGames menu.

Basically all I have is my CXO entries and all the CXG related stuff is gone. I do have a mess of stuff in an "Other" folder there, but its got to be a quicker run to reinstall CXG and all bottles.

I could have sworn that there was a command that would rebuild everything all at once. Or a part of the GUI. Perhaps I am thinking of something else. Googling for rebuild was iffy and none of the stuff I did see helped at all, perhaps things changed from the 5/6/7 days and now.

Hi again,

The --sync option (by itself) should rescan all the bottles, but
doesn't always work (depending on what's gone wrong)...

Cheers!

do I need to relog? I relog when I need to reboot otherwise the switch user option works dandily well.

OK I got some results, but since steam is my default bottle, I am presuming that's why only those short-cuts are now present. Perhaps I can tweak my backup script to do this for me ...

EDIT: Here is the command I used to do that so far:
/opt/cxgames/bin/cxmenu --sync --install
