Hello everyone this is my first time using openbox environment and have been loving it so far but I'm having slight issue I'm hoping someone can help me. I modified my menu to show correct category and program I want to open but when I click on it nothing happens and it opens up geany to edit the shell script. Now when I manually open the folder the program installs to it executes fine, when I also created a .Desktop file and place it in applications folder that also executes and opens program fine. I have been searching for hours and trying different things but no luck. Help please
Thanks

Welcome to Bunsen.
What program?
How did you 'modify the OB menu'?
Please show the section in the ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml that has your program.
IE:
<item label="Ruler">
<action name="Execute">
<command>screenruler</command>
</action>
</item>

</menu>
<menu id="webctrl65" label="WebCTRL6.5">
<item label="EIKON">
<action name="Execute">
<command>/home/scott/WebCTRL6.5/EIKON</command>
</action>

I apologize ... I deleted your post by mistake. Original post quoted above.
=================================================
I do not see that program in the debian repos.
How did you install it?
Can you run it from a terminal?
14 Apr 17 @ 00:20:05 ~
$ ~/WebCTRL6.5/EIKON
If not what error do you get?
Or try:
14 Apr 17 @ 00:20:05 ~
$ ~/WebCTRL6.5/eikon

This program is from my company and is installed from a .sh package that is run. Something interesting is that when I run from terminal ~/WebCTRL6.5/EIKON it throws error "Failed to find Java VM". I can get it to run through terminal but I have to switch to the actual folder that WebCTRL6.5 is installed in.

Write a bash script to start it: eik.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/WebCTRL6.5
EIKTON
exit
Put it in your path ( ~/bin )
and call that in your menu:
<menu id="webctrl65" label="WebCTRL6.5">
<item label="EIKON">
<action name="Execute">
<command>eik.sh</command>
</action>
</item>
