However even from there you must know the name of the executable file, which runs the application.
Often the executeable file is stored in a "bin" directory.
Given that you could just list the contents of the installed rpm, using the filter 'grep' to filter for any occurences of bin.
For example to see what executeables are stored in a "bin" directory in ffmpeg, one would type:
Code:
oldcpu@hal1000:~> rpm -ql ffmpeg | grep bin
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffplay
/usr/bin/ffserver
