I don't want to use my mouse or keyboard for minimizing the windows..!!
I want t o do this with a 
command execution. I hope I am clear.

Thanks

Sorry Pradeep, but you're not very clear.  How can you not use your 
keyboard when you are in command mode?  Do you have voice activation 
software that you wish to utilize?

In KDE 3.1 you can define key sequences to minimize windows by starting 
"Control Center" and defining the behaviour you want in
"Regional & Accewwibility" -> "Keyboard Shortcuts".
In earlier versions I think that this was located elsewhere.

I'm afraid that we need a little more info on what you are using.
Various
versions of linux come with different window managers which handle the
appearance and functionality of the windows.
