I upgraded my machine from 3.1r1 to backports in order to get KDE updated, and
now I have several dozen links hidden in Lost & Found.
I really don't want to configure this manually. Is there a way to update the
Kmenu to the latest list easily?

Under RH, to type "service sensord restart" will kill and restart sensord.
I can't find an equivalent command. Is there one? Otherwise, how to I kill and
