As root in the xterm type:

cd /usr/share/applications/hildon


In that directory is a .desktop file for every icon in your application menu. Just find the one for the app you are asking about and view it with the "cat" command and find the EXEC line. This line shows the command line used to launch that application.

I'm not sure about contacts or phone, but email is probrably called modest.

All of you app menu's icons ARE in that directory, you just may not know what they are called.

You could try launching an app from it's icon and then typing "top" in an xterm and seeing what applications are most active for the naming.

The best way is usin dbus-send command with the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon folder as string.

Launch phone application ( rtcom-call-ui.desktop ):
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:rtcom-call-ui

Launch conversations application ( rtcom-messaging-ui.desktop ):
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:rtcom-messaging-ui

Launch email application ( modest.desktop ):
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:modest

Launch contacts application ( osso-addressbook.desktop ):
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication stringsso-addressbook

Launch browser application ( browser.desktop ):
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:browser


Also, you can make a script for this.
Save this as /usr/bin/runapp.sh (or whatever):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"$1"
Now you can do this in x-term:
runapp.sh browser
runapp.sh modest
runapp.sh image-viewer
