Accessing main menu

I removed my main menu from the Applications menu and want to access it. How can I do this through the command line? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10.

There's a keyboard shortcut for accessing the main menu, there's no need to use the command line. Just press Alt+F1.

as @goncalossilva said if you remove Main Menu from panel you can still view it by pressing ALT+F1. Alternatively you can install gnome-main-menu package using:

sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu

and then run it from command line or Alt+F2 using following command:

/usr/lib/gnome-main-menu/application-browser

If you however want to add Main Menu back to panel just right click on the panel and select Add to panel... then in the window that appears select Menu Bar or Main Menu (which ever you like) and click Add button and then click Close and you are done.
