Checkinstall is not part of Slackware, it just creates slackware packages from source builds to help keep you system in order. Please take a look at it, in case you build software from source packages. It's very useful. (http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/). No, my question was targeted at doing such thing in general. Calling a program which is called with a set of standard arguments given to it. Because quite often you use the same options when calling some program.
