How to run Theos' NIC (New Instance Creator) with a shortcut

 

Hello everyone!

 

It's @DiDA again with another tutorial for the lazy people.

 

This tutorial will be a simple one showing you how to run /var/theos/bin/nic.pl without having to type in the full directory of it all the time. You can set any piece of text for the New Instance Creator to run. For this tutorial and for myself, I will be using "nic" as the command to run the New Instance Creator.

 

Step 1: Using iFile or Filza, go to /usr/bin and create a new Regular File and name it nic. Leave permissions untouched.

 

 

 

Step 2: Open the nic file you just created using iFile's or Filza's text editor and add these lines to it:

#!/bin/bash

/var/theos/bin/nic.pl

Note: If your theos is installed on a different directory you will need to add it to the line above.

 

 

 

Step 3: Save the file and open a Terminal window and type in "nic" (without quotation marks).

 

 

 

Done!

 

You can use this to launch multiple things with just one command also and much more!

So you just have to type in nic?

Yes. Or you can rename the nic file to anything else and you'll have to type in what you renamed it to.
