What makes a program runnable from the actions palette? trying to launch a picture frame

I'm trying to launch my picture frame app from the actions palette but it doesn't seem to start. I've successfully added an icon and entry in /kojak/SystemPanel.init for acid and when I click on it it starts just fine, however when i add one for my picture frame app (A derivative of picframe from Marius) it just doesn't start

my line looks like this
,frame.gif,launch,/nto/bin/frame -p 20s /pics
I thought it was the arguments so I created a frame.sh with no arguments that looks like this
#!/nto/bin/sh
/nto/bin/frame -p 20s /pics &
but that didn't work either

my only guess is that the program must be a binary program that doesn't take any arguments?
once I can verify that it works, I'll be releasing this program in the public domain (under GPL)
check out my site for a nice picture frame icon.

help!

Alex

yup I modified my frame program to look and environment variables as well as command line options so you can run it without arguments and it's launched just fine from SystemPanel.init

how weird.

There is also a program written by someone on the boards called execv that will handle this for you. Just do a search on it for the instructions.
